Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Common questions in South Street
Is South Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is all of Kent covered?
We cater across Kent. Get in touch for a price.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
