Bickley questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bickley?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you come to our fête?
We love fêtes. Get in touch.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Site access
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Details of what the event requires
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
As a London location, Bickley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In late May, sunset in Bickley is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
