Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Teston
Do you come out to small places like Teston?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Teston?
The closest is Wateringbury station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
What about a wrap party?
Of course. Send us the details.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in Teston ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Working with your venue
