Sunset in Lamberhurst is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Questions from Lamberhurst
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Lamberhurst too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
