Hackington questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Hackington?
The closest is Canterbury West station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Looking after everyone
Some staff will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
