Party hog roast in Kennington, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and reunions.
For a party in Kennington, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
