Planning an event in Bromley Common?
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How our hog roast hire works in Bromley Common
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Bromley Common: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include new potatoes, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for festive gatherings and wakes.
Gardens in Bromley Common tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Common questions in Bromley Common
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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’ll follow the site rules.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote

- The venue or postcode

- Your date and serving time

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In Bromley Common, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
