Hog roast for events in Aldington Frith, carved to order

Common questions in Aldington Frith
Which station is closest to Aldington Frith?
Ham Street station, about 3.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

Why choose a hog roast in Aldington Frith?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
