How our event catering works in Welling
Every menu has vegetarian and vegan options: halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and barbecue chicken cover guests who don’t eat pork. Whether it’s gatherings after a service and care home days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, beef brisket and beef burgers.
Looking for caterers in Welling? In London, the cooking spot and access matter most. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. A picture helps. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

- Plates, china and cutlery

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, where we agreed with you or the venue.
Ask for both menus for a long day, such as a wedding with evening guests.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

Questions from Welling
What’s the nearest station to Welling?
Welling station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Welling?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What if our venue is indoors?
The cooking happens outside; serving can typically be inside a hall, barn or marquee. Check with your venue.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you supply china?
Yes, plates are included. Ask about china for a sit-down meal.
Can you cater a small event?
Send us the details and we will tell you honestly what fits. For smaller numbers, a barbecue is frequently the best fit.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
No. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
We take our agreed spot and keep the rest of the space free, and the event carries on around us. Late May in Welling has light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer until about 9:20pm, which gives summer events long evenings.
- It starts with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up on the agreed spot.
- At serving time, the chef cooks and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Space to serve as well as cook
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
As a London location, Welling 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
