The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in West Peckham is about 7:00pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Questions from West Peckham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Dunstan: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is West Peckham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
