Why choose a hog roast in Bromley Common?
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Tell us who does not eat pork
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your care home event. Winter afternoons in Bromley Common are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often 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.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from opening windows
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Bromley Common is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
