Kent Street: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Kent Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Kent Street from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you do charity events?
We’re happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, Kent Street is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- 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 set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
