Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Farningham
Is Farningham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Farningham close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, it is light in Farningham until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

For planners, venues and organisers
