Our hog roast hire in SE18
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in SE18: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are crackling, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and parties at home.
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Plumstead: Thinking of a hog roast in Plumstead Common? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. If you are gathering after a service at a church like St John's Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Light matters for a long roast: in Plumstead, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
