The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Rotherhithe, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Rotherhithe questions
What if our house in Rotherhithe has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Rotherhithe?
Rotherhithe has its own station: Canada Water station.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Questions to ask before you book
- Staffing on the day
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- What crockery is supplied
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

About the food
Roast pork

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Planned to your running order

How we price a hog roast for your party
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Time on site
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A spot well away from the house
As a London location, Rotherhithe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
