Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Twitham questions
Is Twitham close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you travel across Kent?
We cover Kent and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. In Twitham, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and 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
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
