Throwing a party in Sanderstead? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For an evening party in Sanderstead, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

What else we do in Sanderstead
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A heads-up for next door
As a London location, Sanderstead 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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
