Slow-roasted pork in Norbury
Norbury: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Oswald: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Grangewood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Party hog roast in Norbury, carved to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. We serve coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and reunions.
Planning a London party in Norbury? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved to order by a chef

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or CR7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Planning a party in Norbury
Norbury is about 1 mile north of Thornton Heath, in Greater London. Thinking about a hog roast for your party in Norbury? We can help. We cover 764 places across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Norbury to London (about 6 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Grangewood Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Among the historic houses close to Norbury are Kingswood House (1.9 miles north-east) and Addington Palace (4.6 miles south-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.
For parties in CR7, SW16 and SE19, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party in a garden on Green Lane, Croft Road and Downs Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Pollards Hill (1 mile north), Thornton Heath (1 mile south), Streatham (2 miles north-west), Streatham Park (2 miles north-west) and Mitcham (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (6 miles north), City of Westminster (8 miles north), Marylebone (8 miles north), Kensington (7 miles north-west), St Pancras (8 miles north) and Shoreditch (8 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Croydon University Hospital (1.3 miles south) and Crystal Palace Museum (1.5 miles north-east). Open spaces near Norbury include Knight's Hill and Biggin Wood.
- Schools near Norbury include Norbury Manor Business and Enterprise College for Girls (under half a mile north-west) and Silburn Reid (0.9 miles north)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Moon Under Water pub (0.6 miles west)
- Local facilities include St Leonard's (1.7 miles north-west)
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. A summer party in Norbury stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long 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.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Ask for a quote
