Questions from Locksbottom
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 will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Locksbottom?
The closest is Orpington station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Party hog roast in Locksbottom, 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 are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. We’re frequently asked to cater engagement celebrations and retirement celebrations, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
In Locksbottom, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a photo. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For event organisers in Locksbottom
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening parties in Locksbottom need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- 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 tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A step-free way into the garden
Locksbottom 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.
