How our hog roast hire works in Foots Cray
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Popular choices include coleslaw, hog roast rolls and salads, and typical bookings are for clubhouse events and weddings and receptions.
In a London neighbourhood like Foots Cray, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a photo. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

FAQs for Foots Cray
Could you cook in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Foots Cray?
Sidcup station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Foots Cray lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
Foots Cray is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
