Questions from South Green
Do you come out to small places like South Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater in South Green?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Frequently, yes. Contact us when the date is set and we’ll answer right away.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In winter, it’s dark in South Green by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: fill in our quote form.
