Hog roast hire in SE25: what to expect
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in SE25, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We are frequently asked to cater clubhouse events and corporate events, with new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls.
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
What you’ll pay
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal

Selhurst: If guests are travelling by rail, Selhurst has its own station, Norwood Junction station. For a fundraiser at a school like St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook.
What your quote should include

- A clear list of what’s included
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Who carves and who serves
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.

Questions from SE25
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
