Kent Street: your questions answered
How far is Kent Street from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast near the sea around Kent Street?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Late September evenings in Kent Street lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
