Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Trosley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
