Business events near Dargate
Dargate is about 4 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. We are happy to travel to Dargate for staff events. Dargate is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater.
Dargate sits roughly 48 miles from central London, well within our area. Within about 4 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Anywhere in ME13, we can roast on site for your staff, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your staff event is on Butler's Hill and Plumpudding Lane or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. If your venue is just outside Dargate, we also cover Hernhill (1 mile south-west), Waterham (1 mile north), Highstreet (1 mile north-east), Slutshole (1 mile south-west) and Staplestreet (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (5 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles west), Whitstable (4 miles north-east), Faversham (4 miles west) and Herne Bay (8 miles north-east).

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
