Planning a party in Capel-le-Ferne

We cater 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Capel-le-Ferne to Canterbury (13 miles away).
If you had East Cliff and Warren Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. For party guests on the train, Folkestone Central station is about 2.4 miles away. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Capel-le-Ferne, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Capel-le-Ferne, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
