Dungeness questions
How far is Dungeness from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Dungeness too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where we can.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
China crockery is available on request.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. On a winter shoot near Dungeness, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
