What affects the price in Kippington
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- A photo of the cooking area
Send us the date, the address or TN13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Kippington
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Montreal Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Open days in Kippington usually finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day
