Stansted questions
What’s the nearest station to Stansted?
Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2.9 miles south of the centre.
Could you cook in Trosley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you cover Stansted?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Stansted and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Christmas catering near Stansted
Stansted is about 6 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Thinking about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Stansted? We can help. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our bookings stretch from Stansted to London (20 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Wrotham School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Stansted is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We cater Christmas parties across TN15 and the streets around it. Whether your Christmas party is on Parsons Lane, Plaxdale Green Road and Hatham Green Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in Ash (2 miles north), West Kingsdown (2 miles north-west), West Yoke (2 miles north), Knatts Valley (2 miles west) and Fawkham Green (2 miles north).

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. By about 3:50pm in late December, Stansted is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
