Party hog roast for Bickley
How it works
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. In Bickley, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

After a christening at a church like Church of St George, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. If your garden is too small, local halls and clubs near Bickley can be an alternative, as long as there’s outdoor space for the roaster. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Bickley, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Parties anywhere in BR1, BR2 and BR7 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Golf Road, The Avenue and Canon Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
As a London location, Bickley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Bickley: your questions answered

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Bickley?
Bickley station, in Bickley itself.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
About the food

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

What affects the price in Bickley
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
