Charing Heath questions
What’s the nearest station to Charing Heath?
The closest is Charing station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, events in Charing Heath stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
