Party hog roast for South Bermondsey
How our party hog roast works in South Bermondsey
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. We are frequently asked to cater engagement celebrations and anniversary parties, serving crackling, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
Most parties in South Bermondsey are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

South Bermondsey parties: what to know
South Bermondsey is about 2 miles north-west of New Cross, in Greater London. From village halls to gardens and fields, parties around South Bermondsey suit a hog roast. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Augustine, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Mansion House (2.3 miles north-west) and Queen's House (2.4 miles east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Wherever your party is in SE16, SE15 and SE1, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Tenda Road, Rolls Road and Simms Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Main roads around South Bermondsey include the A2208, so getting the roaster to your party is simple. Nearby, we also cater parties in Surrey Canal (1 mile east), Surrey Quays (1 mile north-east), Bermondsey (1 mile north-west), Peckham (1 mile south) and Rotherhithe (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (4 miles north-west), Marylebone (4 miles north-west), Kensington (6 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles north-west), Shoreditch (3 miles north) and Walthamstow (7 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Surrey Quays Shopping Centre (0.8 miles north-east) and Nunhead (1.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.
- Nearby schools include City of London Academy (less than half a mile north-west) and Southwark Free School (within half a mile south-west)
- Local pubs include The Kentish Drovers Public House (under half a mile south)
What affects the price in South Bermondsey
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evening parties in South Bermondsey need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
As a London location, South Bermondsey 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
