Questions from Sole Street
How far is Sole Street from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How do we book for a business?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
Can you cater in Sole Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Sole Street and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
