FAQs for West Kingsdown
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is West Kingsdown close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
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 roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
