Common questions in Sellindge
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 follow the site rules.
Do you trade at school fairs around Sellindge?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you do charity events?
Get in touch and we will see what’s possible.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
