About our party hog roast in Surrey Quays
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding anniversaries and christenings and naming days, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Throwing a party in Surrey Quays? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Hosting a hog roast party in Surrey Quays
Surrey Quays is about 2 miles south-east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Surrey Quays is well within our area for parties and the places nearby. Surrey Quays is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
If the day starts at St Katharine with St Bartholomew, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. Parks such as Deptford Park generally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first.
Here we cover the SE16, SE8 and SE15 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. We can cater a party on streets such as Bush Road, Gomm Road and Lower Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Surrey Quays is on the A200 and A2208, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Surrey Quays, we also cover Rotherhithe (1 mile north), Surrey Canal (1 mile south-west), South Bermondsey (1 mile south-west), Millwall (1 mile east) and North Greenwich (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (5 miles west), Marylebone (5 miles west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles north-west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-west) and Walthamstow (7 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Nunhead (1.7 miles south) and St Olave's Hospital (0.5 miles north-west). Within reach you will find Lavender Pond and Tower Hill.
- Local schools include Bacon's College (0.7 miles north) and Spa School (1 mile west)
- Pubs nearby include The Surrey Docks pub (less than half a mile north-west)
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Events we cater in Surrey Quays
Children usually love it, with chicken as a backup.

- Family reunions
- Summer parties in the garden

Common questions in Surrey Quays
We are gathering after a service at St Katharine with St Bartholomew: 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. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Deptford Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Where the roaster can go in Surrey Quays
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A wet-weather plan for guests
As a London location, Surrey Quays is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Surrey Quays is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
