Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
As a London location, South Bank 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.

South Bank: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to South Bank?
South Bank has its own station: London Waterloo station.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving.

- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
