Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. 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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Orpington
Which station is closest to Orpington?
St Mary Cray station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Orpington?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you cover Orpington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Orpington and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Open days in Orpington normally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

- Shelter for the team
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
Orpington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
