Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Party venues around Peckham
Peckham is about 2 miles south-east of London, in Greater London. We cater parties of every size in Peckham. Peckham is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.
If your garden is too small, local halls and clubs near Peckham can be an alternative, as long as there’s outdoor space for the roaster. Parks such as Brimmington Park typically need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Peckham
Which station is closest to Peckham?
Queens Road Peckham station, in Peckham itself.
Could you cook in Brimmington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Neighbours warned about the smell
As a London location, Peckham 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’ll advise.
