Party hog roast near Ruxley
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Typical bookings include family reunions and wedding anniversaries, with coleslaw, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
Most parties in Ruxley are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A picture helps. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Questions from Ruxley
What’s the nearest station to Ruxley?
Albany Park station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Could you cook in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Think about children’s portions
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
As a London location, Ruxley 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.

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset in Ruxley is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.

- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
