About the food
Rotisserie chicken

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Shelter for the team
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Sign-off for outside caterers
As a London location, Chelsfield 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 will advise before booking.

What affects the price in Chelsfield
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- The date and time of the event

Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
