Mystole questions
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Broadham Down?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Yes, Mystole is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Mystole events: pitches and permissions
Mystole is about 4 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Wherever your event is in Mystole, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Mystole is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater.
A school like Chartham Primary School can book a hog roast for a fair, fun run or sports day. A summer fête at Church of St Mary is the classic setting for a hog roast. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Mystole, often have rules about cooking, vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
This part of Kent takes in CT4, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Thruxted Lane and Mystole Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Mystole, we also cover Shalmsford Street (1 mile east), Chartham (1 mile north-east), Garlinge Green (1 mile south-east), Chartham Hatch (2 miles north) and Petham (2 miles south-east).

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-September events in Mystole lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or CT4 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
