- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.

Party hog roast in West Norwood, carved to order

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
As a London location, West Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
West Norwood questions
We’re gathering after a service at West Norwood Congregational Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to West Norwood?
The closest is West Norwood station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
Do you come to West Norwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, West Norwood and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
