Party hog roast in Monkhams, carved to order
In Monkhams, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. We serve jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling, and typical bookings are for close and cul-de-sac parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A summer party in Monkhams stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

FAQs for Monkhams
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cater in Monkhams?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Monkhams and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do we need our own staff?

How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
As a London location, Monkhams is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
