How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Lenham, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

Lenham questions
Could you cook in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Lenham from London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
