Common questions in East Hill
Could you cook in Kemsing Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Party hog roast in East Hill, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. We serve apple sauce, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for naming ceremonies and wedding anniversaries.
Near East Hill, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
For event organisers in East Hill
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your party in East Hill. In East Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
