What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from the home
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Flat ground in the grounds
As a London location, Chelsfield is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to staff cooking, we take the cooking off your team. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us

Questions from Chelsfield
What’s the nearest station to Chelsfield?
Chelsfield station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
What if our house in Chelsfield has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can visitors eat too?
Families and staff are welcome.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In summer, Chelsfield has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
