Common questions in Staplehurst
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Staplehurst close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you roast in the rain?
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 much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
