At the age of 37 and with five failed driving tests behind her, Sue was on the verge of giving up. She was feeling so frustrated that she always seemed to fall at the final hurdle no matter how hard she tried. Her husband Keith eventually persuaded her to give it one more go and gave her the best incentive ever-if she passed on her sixth attempt, he would throw a party to celebrate and reward her with a slow-roasted pork treat courtesy of Hog Roast Camberwell! This seemed to do the trick and with fresh determination, Sue was over the moon when she was given the good news by…

Amid all the hustle, bustle, noise and crowds that are all a part of city life, it’s often difficult to imagine being able to find a tranquil green space to have some peace and quiet and get away from it all. A group of innovative urban gardeners who grow all manner of things on their balconies and window ledges, started to think on a much grander scale and with the help of local council funding, set up their very own rooftop Eden on top of one of the city’s buildings! They didn’t want it to be a secret garden though; they wanted as many busy commuters and city dwellers as…

Since Quadraphenia was her husband Paul’s favourite film of all time, it seemed only fitting to Emma that she should throw him a ‘Mods versus Rockers’ party to celebrate his 40th birthday! Unfortunately, Sting couldn’t be there to help him celebrate, but luckily for Paul, Hog Roast Abbey Wood were in attendance to do the catering! Although he was too young to be part of the craze at the time, Paul had always considered himself something of a ‘mod’. He was understandably over the moon with the theme of the party, even more so when he browsed our menus and saw that we had exciting options to suit not just two…

Hog Roast Whitechapel were delighted to be asked to cater for around 50 athletes and guests at a post-London Marathon private party raising money for Macmillan Trust with food scheduled to be served around an hour after the iconic race finished. The London Marathon was first run in 1981 and has become one of the most famous events in London attracting thousands of spectators and participants and we knew that this would be a challenging situation to set up in good time and in a restricted environment but planning and preparation was the key for this to work and we liaised closely with the event organisers to ensure that we…

A very important client booked us last week for his firms fifth birthday and asked if we could cater for 1,000 with Hog Roast Selhurst. Not a problem at all we told him as we have cooked for 5000 before so we are more than experienced for the job. We had been looking forward to the event all week and there is nothing we love more than large events! Lots of preparation before hand and as we left that morning the adrenaline was flowing and we were eager to get started. When we arrived we were shown into a huge drawing room and we first brought in the machines then…

Everyone loves a good pub quiz and although it’s the taking part that counts, everyone also loves a decent prize at the end of it to make expending all that mental energy and having all those differences of opinions with your team mates worthwhile. Sometimes though, pub quizzes can fall short in prize department (tokens for a beer you don’t like, a voucher for a free dessert next Thursday lunchtime when you’re at work etc), which inevitably leaves the victors feeling a bit disappointed. Happily, this was not the case at the pub we were in last week however, because the prize for the winning team was none other than…

When you’re organising a corporate event, whether large or small, you need to be sure that the food that will be served will be something to be enjoyed by everyone. We know at Hog Roast Addiscombe that variety is key, and that’s why we offer so many different choices that you won’t believe your eyes. Of course, hog roasts are our speciality, and our chefs love preparing and cooking them from scratch, but we can also spit-roast some turkeys or chickens, or a hunk of lamb of beef, for example, but that’s not all. If you prefer to have a sit-down meal with several courses, we can easily do that too,…

Saturday we travelled with Hog Roast Slade Green to a Community centre as we were catering for their 10th Birthday and they wanted to mark the occasion in style and what better way than with a super hog roast! We were greeted by the lady in charge and she escorted us into the back of the building where she wanted us to set up by this time the sun was shining and we could see we were going to have a lovely day. We were preparing an open air BBQ for all. First job was to the huge pig on the hog roast machine and it was a lovely sight…

Wherever we go we get orders from guests at events. We always carry lots of cards with us and leave them at events and we always get calls back and bookings and the same happened at the weekend. We were catering for a birthday party for a 30th birthday the event was held in a church hall. Eva was the name of the lady and she had just recently moved back here as she spent a good few years in the USA. All her family and friends were coming and we were asked to cater for 150 guests with our Hog Roast Cazenove. Upon arrival we chatted to Eva and she…
