How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a staff lunch in Densole, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Common questions in Densole
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Densole close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
