Common questions in Fosten Green
Do you come out to small places like Fosten Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Fosten Green?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In late May, sunset in Fosten Green is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
