Twydall: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Twydall?
The closest is Rainham (Kent) station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Could you cook in Riverside Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
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.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Get in touch and we will see what’s possible.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
