About our event catering in Sittingbourne
We’re event caterers who cook on site. In Sittingbourne, that means a hog roast, a barbecue or both, cooked outdoors under cover at your venue, and our team serves and tidies up. Typical bookings include wakes and community fun days, with spit-roast lamb, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Sittingbourne has halls, clubs, pubs and function venues, as well as plenty of gardens. If yours has outdoor space, we can cater there, and we’ll check the venue is happy with an outside caterer. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Questions from Sittingbourne
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you do small parties?
Send us the date and rough numbers and we will advise, with no obligation.
Can you feed a big crowd?
Large events suit a hog roast especially well. Tell us about the event and we will quote.
Can you cater in Sittingbourne?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Sittingbourne and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you cater indoors?
We cook outdoors under cover, but we can frequently serve inside if the venue agrees. Ask your venue what they allow.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. There’s always a vegetarian and a vegan choice, cooked separately from the meat.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Find out who avoids pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
After service, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left to do.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A spot well clear of buildings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
We work back from when you want to eat: we arrive early for a hog roast, and in good time for a barbecue. Either way, food is ready when you are. In Sittingbourne, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:50pm.

- Hot food is served at the time you chose.
