Hoppers Corner: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hoppers Corner?
The closest is East Farleigh station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you come to Hoppers Corner?
Yes, Hoppers Corner is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What happens if it is dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Roast turkey can be added.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. A lunchtime Christmas party in Hoppers Corner is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Light by the serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
