Hog roast catering in DA18: local guide
DA18 covers everything from Belvedere, Thamesmead and Crossness to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Belvedere: Coming by train? The nearest station is Belvedere station, about 0.5 miles north. A green space like Lesnes Abbey Woods is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Late September evenings in Belvedere lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
