Around Bexley Riverside, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Your questions about a hog roast in Bexley Riverside
Can you cater after a service at St Paul's?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bexley Riverside?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Parking near the spot
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Bexley Riverside is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Around midsummer it stays light in Bexley Riverside until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
