Pegwell: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cover Pegwell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Pegwell and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How do you handle allergies?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
