Slow-roasted pork in Orpington
Party hog roast in Orpington, slow-roasted on site
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and coleslaw, and we are often booked for getting-engaged parties and anniversary parties.
In Orpington, 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. Send us a picture. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Orpington questions
Can you cater after a service at St Andrew's?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
