Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Foots Cray
What if our house in Foots Cray has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
