New Ash Green questions
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you come to New Ash Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including New Ash Green and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
