FAQs for Leigh Green
Which station is closest to Leigh Green?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 5 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mildred: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Sunset in Leigh Green is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.

For event organisers in Leigh Green
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
