A hog roast across SE15: what to know
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in SE15, so the setting can be anything from East Dulwich, Camberwell and Peckham to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Peckham: For a fundraiser at a school like John Donne Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Parks such as Brimmington Park usually need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. In Peckham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- What crockery is supplied
- A clear list of what’s included
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- The space, cover and access they need
What comes off the roaster

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
