Questions from Welling
Can you do a hog roast in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Welling?
Welling station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
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’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater in Welling?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Is crackling included?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Welling 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Welling
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evenings in Welling stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- 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.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
