Sittingbourne: your questions answered
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll work it out together.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Step by step

- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
