- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives

A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.

Common questions in Dunn Street
Can you do a hog roast in South Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come to Dunn Street?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Dunn Street, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm 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 tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
