Parties around Birchington are frequently relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Questions from Birchington
Can you roast near the sea around Birchington?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Birchington close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you come to Birchington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Birchington and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Planning for dietary needs

- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Add a dietary question to the invite

- 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
