Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
For event organisers in Sidcup
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Sidcup questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Waring Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is generally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
