For event organisers in Kearsney
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
Common questions in Kearsney
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Old Park Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you cover Kearsney?
Yes, Kearsney is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in Kearsney, 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.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
