pinecone Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 i suppose you could do worse than ask the guys who run one every saturday on north cross road Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34995-i-need-a-hog-roast/#findComment-667663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carnell Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Something to consider is when you need it for i.e time of day.If it's lunchtime, they'll need to be onsite super early to get it fired up and begin roasting the beast. It takes about 6 hours. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34995-i-need-a-hog-roast/#findComment-667676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptime Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Congratulations. You could try dixieunion.co.uk which is US style pulled pork (the pork is cooked off site beforehand, I believe). They had a stall, which I visited, at the West Norwood Feast event yesterday and the food was lovely. The people operating Dixie Union also catered for a party my husband and I held a couple of years ago - they are very professional and reliable.

It takes about 6 hours.I reckon they bring it mostly roasted and just finish it off at the venue an hour or so before serving. Saw it done in South Africa.

Otta Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Suzanne James does (or at least has done) hog roasts. My old band played at an event where SJ were doing one. It was good!

Annette Curtain Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The one in Nth X road's a little bland/steamy IMHOHow much space you got at the event to allocate?

Otta Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I think hog roasts in general are pretty bland and overrated, but they seem mega popular. I just like the crackling. But again, as far as they go, Suzanne Janes has probably done the best one I've tried.

Annette Curtain Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 What's your budget allocationYou might find it more fun to get a street food trader or two on-site Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34995-i-need-a-hog-roast/#findComment-667803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClareC Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm having one in a couple of weeks, they do cook it on site - think they are setting up @ 8 hours before (it's a large hog). The chap I'm using rears his own pigs and came highly recommended by 3 separate (and independent of one another) sources. I'm expecting good things but don't know if he covers London, we are Kent now.
