Lyminge: your questions answered
Is Lyminge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Lyminge from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we book for a business?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will confirm how booking and payment work.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
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 bring everything else.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Corporate hog roast in Lyminge, carved to order
Lunch breaks are often fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We’re often asked to cater open days and family days and away days, serving hog roast rolls, salads and coleslaw.
At country workplaces around Lyminge, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Staff days in Lyminge: access and travel
Lyminge is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Wherever your staff event is in Lyminge, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Lyminge is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Lyminge to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Lyminge sits roughly 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard. For staff and visitors coming by train, Sandling station is about 2.8 miles away. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 3 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 5 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Here we cover the CT18 postcode area. Streets in the area include Church Road, Station Road and Silverlands Road, and a staff event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater staff events in Ottinge (1 mile north-east), Woodland (1 mile west), Skeete (1 mile west), Etchinghill (1 mile south) and Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (10 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (9 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Deal (15 miles north-east) and Hythe (4 miles south).
A little further out are Saltwood Castle (3.3 miles south) and Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (2.5 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Tolsford Hill.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
