Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Common questions in Tunstall
What’s the nearest station to Tunstall?
The closest is Sittingbourne station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Could you cook in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Tunstall in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
