Our hog roast hire in SE4
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and gatherings after a funeral, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and new potatoes.
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Local landmarks in Telegraph Hill
Bookings here are often close to St Catherine's Hatcham, Haberdashers' Hatcham College and Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham Temple Grove Free School and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Southwark Free School (1.3 miles north-west), The Brockley Barge pub (within half a mile south-east) and Fordham Park (0.8 miles north-east). Telegraph Hill has its own railway station: Brockley station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are Lewisham Shopping Centre (1.4 miles east) and Nunhead (under half a mile west). Within reach you’ll find St. James's Park Lake and New Cross Gate Cutting.
Planning a hog roast in SE4
From New Cross, Nunhead and Telegraph Hill to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across SE4 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Telegraph Hill: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St Catherine's Hatcham, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For a fundraiser at a school like Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham Temple Grove Free School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Evenings in Telegraph Hill stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, if it applies
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Plates, china and cutlery
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
