Party hog roast in Single Street, carved to order
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. For retirement parties and christenings, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Planning a London party in Single Street? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Where the roaster can go in Single Street
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A heads-up for next door
Single Street is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Single Street questions
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

How we price a hog roast for your party
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
