About our party hog roast in Chislehurst
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We roast on site in Chislehurst, then carve at the time you choose, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for getting-engaged parties and christenings.
Most parties in Chislehurst are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. Send us a picture. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.

Chislehurst: your questions answered
Could you cook in Chislehurst Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church The Annunciation Of Blessed Virgin Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
