Slow-roasted pork in Farthing Street
Party hog roast in Farthing Street, carved to order
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. For street parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of jacket potatoes, apple sauce and coleslaw.
Throwing a party in Farthing Street? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Farthing Street
What’s the nearest station to Farthing Street?
Orpington station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- All the equipment comes with us
- No surprises: everything in writing

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
