Common questions in Twitton
We’re gathering after a service at Twitton Mission Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
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.
Do you come to Twitton?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Ask about china.
