Common questions in Fairbourne Heath
Can you do a hog roast in Kiln Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Fairbourne Heath?
The closest is Harrietsham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Is electricity needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
