Stone Cross questions
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Stone Cross close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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 long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Stone Cross, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
How to prepare
