FAQs for Woodchurch
Which station is closest to Woodchurch?
Appledore (Kent) station, about 3.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Stone Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Shelter for the team
- A named contact for the day
- Access through the site gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
