Questions from Palmarsh
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Brockhill Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How does payment work for businesses?
Send your requirements, and the quote will include the terms.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
