Party hog roast in Blackheath, carved to order
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. For big family get-togethers and naming ceremonies, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
Near Blackheath, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Blackheath: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Blackheath?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
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 check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Blackheath, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
