What else we do in Clement Street
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Clement Street questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Saint Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
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.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Frequently, yes. Contact us when the date is set and we will tell you quickly.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you serve on plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

- We serve calmly as people arrive.
