West Yoke questions
How far is West Yoke from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can a company book?
Get in touch with your details, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
