Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Puddledock
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Puddledock?
The closest is Edenbridge station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Do you need power on site?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What will our event need from you?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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 late May, sunset in Puddledock is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- 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 rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
