Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Clearance from walls and tents
As a London location, Welling is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

A hog roast compared with other options
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What affects the price in Welling
We work out each quote from:
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, it’s dark in Welling by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
