- Share the allergen information in advance

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Lower Haysden
What’s the nearest station to Lower Haysden?
Tonbridge station, about 1.1 miles east of the centre.
Could you cook in Haysden Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Send us the details.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
