Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Common questions in Benenden
Is Benenden too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?

Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about family fun days?
Yes. Give us total numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.

Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
