- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Clear of bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Styants Bottom
Could you cook in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
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.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s included?
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.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your care home event. In Styants Bottom, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
