FAQs for Sevenoaks Weald
Could you cook in Knole Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Sevenoaks Weald?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not offer halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast starts early, and in December Sevenoaks Weald is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
