Party hog roast in Southwark, carved to order
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. For summer parties in the garden and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and jacket potatoes.
Most parties in Southwark 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. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
Southwark is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Jacket potatoes
- Salads
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.

Your party could be at a house on Borough Square, Trinity Church Square and Merrick Square, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Common questions in Southwark
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Southwark?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to Southwark?
Elephant & Castle station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you come to Southwark?
Yes, Southwark is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For an evening party in Southwark, think about light: 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.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
