Event catering in Faversham, cooked on site
Not every venue in Faversham has a kitchen, and with us it doesn’t need one: we cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you. That makes gardens, fields, car parks and marquees all possible. Whether it is weddings and evening receptions and film and TV crews, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls with crackling for your guests.
Venues in Faversham range from village-style halls and clubs to hotels and function rooms. If yours has outdoor space, we can cater there, and we’ll check the venue is happy with an outside caterer. You will know exactly what’s included before you book.
Faversham: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Faversham close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What if our venue is indoors?
The cooking happens outside; serving can generally be inside a hall, barn or marquee. Check with your venue.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. Pass on their details and we’ll agree the details with them.
What sort of catering do you do?
We’re a mobile catering company that cooks on site: hog roast and BBQ menus, with meat-free options. We serve and tidy up.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
After service, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
For a big event, have both menus.
