Questions from Farthing Street
Can you do a hog roast in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
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.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or BR6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September events in Farthing Street lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A queuing area
As a London location, Farthing Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
