Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Crook Log in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

FAQs for Crook Log
What’s the nearest station to Crook Log?
Crook Log has its own station: Bexleyheath station.
Could you cook in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
