Yopps Green questions

Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2 miles north of the centre.

How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Yopps Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
