Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Flat ground in the grounds
- An activities lead or manager as contact
Beckenham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter afternoons in Beckenham are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Questions from Beckenham
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Beckenham?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Beckenham Place Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
