If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Barnehurst?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you do charity events?

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In late May, sunset in Barnehurst is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
