What affects the price in Plumstead
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Hog roast hire in Plumstead, slow-roasted on site
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Plumstead, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater staff days and open days and community events.
In a London neighbourhood like Plumstead, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a photo. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late September evenings in Plumstead lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.

Plumstead: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Plumstead?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For event organisers in Plumstead
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Put the menu on the invitation
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
