How our Christmas hog roast works in Mottingham

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.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: use our quote form.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it’s dark in Mottingham by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Indoor space for eating
- A lit route to the food
