Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
Why choose a hog roast in Queen Street?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

FAQs for Queen Street
Which station is closest to Queen Street?
The closest is Paddock Wood station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you do a hog roast in Foal Hurst Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What if the service runs late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We will always try. Tell us the details and we’ll reply promptly.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in Queen Street is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
