Common questions in Longfield Hill
Is Longfield Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you work to set times?
That’s exactly how we work.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you cover Longfield Hill?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What about a wrap party?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. By late September, sunset near Longfield Hill is about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.

What affects the price in Longfield Hill
Here’s what affects the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At the end of a shoot, it is a relaxed way to finish. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
