How far is Longfield from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is mains power needed?

Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For an evening party in Longfield, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Your quote depends on:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
Send us the date, the address or DA3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
