Party hog roast in West Dulwich
Planners, venues and businesses
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 booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Party hog roast in West Dulwich, slow-roasted on site
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and close and cul-de-sac parties, serving a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and jacket potatoes.
Planning a London party in West Dulwich? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Questions from West Dulwich
What’s the nearest station to West Dulwich?
West Dulwich has its own station: Sydenham Hill station.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Stephen?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you cover West Dulwich?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
