What else we do in South Street
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Common questions in South Street

Meopham station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
