Questions from Kemsley
Can you do a hog roast in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
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 follow the site rules.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater in Kemsley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Kemsley and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?

- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
