Pratt's Bottom: your questions answered
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 follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Generally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We will agree it with your location manager.
Do you have alternatives?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, daylight in Pratt's Bottom lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

How we price a hog roast for the crew
There’s no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
