Questions from Well Hill
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 follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens if it’s dark?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Count who does not eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
