Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

FAQs for Goddington
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you come to Goddington?
Yes, Goddington is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Parties in Goddington: homes, halls and local tips
Goddington is about 1 mile south of Orpington, in Greater London. Parties in Goddington are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. We cater 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Goddington to London (about 13 miles away).
For party guests on the train, Chelsfield station, about 0.7 miles south, is the nearest station. A green space like Hewitt's Chalk Bank is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Goddington, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in BR6 and BR5, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Your party could be at a house on Eton Road, Stowe Road and Court Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Other places close to Goddington we cover include Chelsfield (1 mile south-east), Orpington (1 mile north), Derry Downs (1 mile north), Maypole (1 mile south-east) and Bopeep (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include London (13 miles north-west), City of Westminster (15 miles north-west), Marylebone (15 miles north-west), St Pancras (15 miles north-west), Shoreditch (14 miles north-west) and Hoxton (14 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Lullingstone Castle (3.7 miles east) and London Borough of Bromley Museum (0.9 miles north). Green spaces nearby include The Warren and Summer Hill.
- Local schools include St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School (under half a mile west) and Harris Academy Orpington (0.6 miles north)
- Local pubs include Five Bells Public House (0.9 miles south-east)
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
Goddington 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Goddington, 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.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
