Party hog roast for Sydenham Hill
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How our party hog roast works in Sydenham Hill
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. Whether it is engagement celebrations and retirement parties, we can cook jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and coleslaw and more.
In Sydenham Hill, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A photo helps. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Sydenham Hill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day

Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How far ahead should we book?
