Charcott: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Charcott?
Penshurst station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
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 need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you come to Charcott?
Yes, Charcott is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. A lunchtime Christmas party in Charcott is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
