Your questions about a hog roast for your party in South Norwood
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South Norwood?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cover South Norwood?
Yes, South Norwood is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
A closer look at the menu
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.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

What else we do in South Norwood
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For an evening party in South Norwood, 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.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your party: send us your details through our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
