Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

- A lit route to the food
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What else we do in Meopham
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Christmas parties in Meopham are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:50pm in December. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

- We carve and serve hot on cue.
