A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. A lunchtime Christmas party in Stone Cross is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What’s the nearest station to Stone Cross?
The closest is Ham Street station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is turkey available?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

What else we do in Stone Cross
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
