Slow-roasted pork in Bickley
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Bickley, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Bickley 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
