Your questions about a hog roast in Crockhurst Street
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Crockhurst Street?
Tonbridge station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
