Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Post allergen details at base
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.
Ask about china.
For event organisers in Chelsfield
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Sign-off from the location
- A safe distance from kit
- Flat ground at the unit base
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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the roaster
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls

- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb
- New potatoes

- Halloumi skewers (V)
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Chelsfield ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
