Newenden: your questions answered
Is Newenden close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Newenden?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can we have roast turkey?
We can: add turkey to the menu.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
