What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
We clear away quietly.
Ask about china.

Questions from Crouch
Which station is closest to Crouch?
Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Is Crouch too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What allergens are in the food?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Step by step
