FAQs for Bitchet Green
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 work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Bitchet Green?
The closest is Kemsing station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cater in village halls?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, given an outdoor cooking area.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Generally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In winter, it is dark in Bitchet Green by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
