Questions from Maypole
What’s the nearest station to Maypole?
Knockholt station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
What if our house in Maypole has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
