Party hog roast in Telegraph Hill
How our party hog roast works in Telegraph Hill
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We are frequently asked to cater street parties and family reunions, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
In Telegraph Hill, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. 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’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Telegraph Hill: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Catherine's Hatcham?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Telegraph Hill?
Brockley station, in Telegraph Hill itself.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

A summer party in Telegraph Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
