Party hog roast in Kenley, slow-roasted on site
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Kenley suit a hog roast: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. We serve and tidy up. Typical bookings include wedding anniversaries and summer parties in the garden, serving jacket potatoes, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage.
In Kenley, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A photo helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Where the roaster can go in Kenley
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Kenley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Kenley questions
Which station is closest to Kenley?
Kenley has its own station: Kenley station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kenley?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you come to Kenley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Kenley and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
For event organisers in Kenley
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Kenley
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it’s light in Kenley until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning a party in Kenley
Kenley is about 1 mile south-east of Purley, in Greater London. Parties in Kenley are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Kenley is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. You can also see our page for London, about 12 miles away.
Within reach of Kenley are historic houses such as Addington Palace (3.3 miles north-east). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. A green space like Dollypers Hill is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
Wherever your party is in CR8 and CR2, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your party is on Oaks Road, Park Road and Roke Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. Main roads around Kenley include the A22, which makes travel to your party easy. If your venue is just outside Kenley, we also cover Riddlesdown (1 mile north), Sanderstead (1 mile north-east), Whyteleafe (1 mile south-east), Hamsey Green (1 mile east) and South Croydon (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include London (12 miles north), City of Westminster (13 miles north), Marylebone (14 miles north), Kensington (13 miles north), St Pancras (14 miles north) and Shoreditch (14 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find St George's Walk (3.4 miles north) and Croydon Airport Visitor Centre (2.4 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Duppas Hill and Foxley Wood.
- Nearby schools include Riddlesdown Collegiate (less than half a mile east)
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
