Questions from Lower Cox Street
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.
Can you do a hog roast in White Horse Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What will our facilities team need?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening staff events in Lower Cox Street need light after sunset: about 9:15pm in June, 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, 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 let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
