A hog roast across SE6: what to know
SE6 covers everything from Catford, Lewisham and Hither Green to 0 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.
Catford: For anyone arriving by rail, Catford Bridge station, about 0.5 miles north-west, is the nearest station. Among the historic houses close to Catford are Eltham Palace (2.8 miles east) and Queen's House (2.8 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Light matters for a long roast: around Catford, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Put the menu on the invitation
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
Questions to ask before booking
- Allergen information for every dish
- Plates, china and cutlery
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
