Aldington: your questions answered
Is Aldington close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Aldington?
Ham Street station, about 4.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In December, Aldington is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
