For crew arriving by train, Beckenham Junction station is in Beckenham itself. Nearby historic houses include Bromley Palace (2.1 miles east) and Kingswood House (2.8 miles north-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property.

Common questions in Beckenham
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Beckenham?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Beckenham?
Beckenham has its own station: Beckenham Junction station.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll be ready.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- Vehicle access to base
Beckenham 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Beckenham
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)

What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer shoots near Beckenham have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- We bring everything to cook and serve

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.
China crockery is available on request.
