Planning the cooking spot

- Away from vehicles and equipment
- Access agreed with locations
- Flat ground at the unit base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Postling Green: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you need much space at base?
Normally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
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 will quote.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
