Hog roast hire in Kidbrooke, slow-roasted on site

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
As a London location, Kidbrooke is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Other occasions in Kidbrooke
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why choose hog roast hire in Kidbrooke?
A hog roast suits big outdoor gatherings in Kidbrooke: a whole hog goes a long way, and the carving is part of the event.
We are regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near Kidbrooke, including:
- Wakes
- Garden parties and barbecues
- Festive gatherings
- Club events and presentations
A green space like Eltham Common is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, if it applies
- Staffing on the day
- The full menu and the sides
- The space, cover and access they need
How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Kidbrooke lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access
Getting a price
