Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Common questions in Oare
Which station is closest to Oare?
The closest is Faversham station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How far is Oare from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we just hire the roaster?

Why choose a hog roast in Oare?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
