How our event catering works in Sidcup
Most people looking for caterers in Sidcup want the same things: good food, on time, with no mess left behind. That is our job, whether it’s a hog roast or a barbecue. We serve hog roast rolls with crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and residents’ days.
Events in Sidcup range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. London gardens are frequently compact, so we look for a spot clear of fences and windows. You will know exactly what’s included before booking.

Sidcup questions
What’s the nearest station to Sidcup?
Sidcup has its own station: Sidcup station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Sidcup?
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’ll advise.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Are you a full-service caterer?
Hog roast and BBQ catering is what we do, plus salads, potatoes and meat-free choices. Tell us what you are planning and we’ll suggest a menu.
Can you cater a small event?
Tell us your numbers and we will suggest what works. A barbecue can suit smaller groups well.
Do you supply china?
Plates are standard. China is available on request.
How soon do dates go?
Once you know the date. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork for the alternatives
A hog roast starts hours before serving; a barbecue is cooked through service. Either way, we work back from your serving time.
Add sides for a proper meal.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Access wide enough for our equipment
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Clearance from walls, tents and overhanging branches
Sidcup is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
Your serving time sets our timings: a hog roast needs us there hours ahead, a barbecue a little less. Either way, food is ready when you are. In Sidcup, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:55pm.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
