Corporate hog roast for Reculver
Reculver: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Reculver?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Reculver?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

What comes off the roaster

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Spit-roast lamb

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
