What affects the price in Mottingham
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
FAQs for Mottingham
Can you cater after a service at Jubilee International Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Mottingham has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Evening parties in Mottingham need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. 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.
Why Mottingham hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Planned to your running order
