FAQs for Sidcup
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Sidcup?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves a lot of people fast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
