Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cover Daniel's Water?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Add chicken as an alternative.
