Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in North Street
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
Is North Street close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A route for our vehicle
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
