West Langdon questions
Can you roast near the sea around West Langdon?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is West Langdon too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover West Langdon?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, West Langdon and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
A hog roast or other catering?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
