Questions from Petham
Do you come out to small places like Petham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Petham?
The closest is Chartham station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Petham, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken for a more polished feel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
