FAQs for Langton Green
What’s the nearest station to Langton Green?
The closest is Tunbridge Wells station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Corporate hog roast in Langton Green, slow-roasted on site
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Whether it’s staff summer days and launch days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads for your staff.
Teams near Langton Green often go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. After-work summer events in Langton Green have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with individual food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
