The menu, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.

Christmas hog roast in Crofton, slow-roasted on site

Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. On the menu are roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater december open days and lights switch-on evenings.

London Christmas parties in Crofton are frequently at offices, pubs with a courtyard or homes with a garden. Tell us about lighting and access. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Before you choose a spot

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

  • Vehicle access close by
  • A level outdoor area that can be lit
  • Indoor space for eating

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.

A hog roast or other catering?

Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. 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 us?

  • Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
  • Crackling for everyone who wants it
  • Carved to order by a chef
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.

Christmas parties in Crofton: local tips

Crofton is about 1 mile south-west of Orpington, in Greater London. We take a hog roast for your Christmas party to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Crofton and the surrounding area. Crofton is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 11 miles away.

If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Crofton Infant School, hot rolls go down well. A Christmas fair at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. Crofton is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

For Christmas parties in BR6 and BR5, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Whether your Christmas party is on Grange Road, Reed Avenue and Gumping Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Broom Hill (1 mile north-east), Locksbottom (1 mile west), Petts Wood (1 mile north), Farnborough (1 mile south) and Green Street Green (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover London (11 miles north-west), City of Westminster (14 miles north-west), Marylebone (14 miles north-west), Kensington (15 miles north-west), St Pancras (14 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (12 miles north-west).

A little further out are Orpington Hospital (1.1 miles south-east) and Crofton Roman Villa (within half a mile south-east). Green spaces nearby include Summer Hill and The Warren.

Crofton questions

Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Can you do a hog roast in Jubilee Country Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.

How much room do you need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.

What should we sort out beforehand?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Do you bring plates?

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

How it works

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, it is dark in Crofton by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

  1. Tell us when and where the party is.
  2. We confirm the space and send a price.
  3. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
  4. Our chef carves and staff serve.
  5. We pack up, even in the rain.

How to prepare

Planners, venues and businesses

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

  • Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
