Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level outdoor area
- Someone to meet us
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
As a London location, Crofton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:

- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Crofton
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: use our quote form.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In late May, sunset in Crofton is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time

Questions from Crofton
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can visitors eat too?
Families and staff are welcome.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
