Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
FAQs for Honey Hill
Do you come out to small places like Honey Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Tyler Hill Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What time do you serve?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Honey Hill and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer hog roast day in Honey Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
