Planning a hog roast in BR5
Across BR5, we cover 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Orpington, Bromley and St Mary Cray or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Orpington: If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Andrew's, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. PTAs at schools such as Perry Hall Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Light matters for a long roast: around Orpington, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
