Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

- A safe distance from the hall
- A level outdoor area

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In winter, it’s dark in Westerham by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
