Questions from New Barn
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 will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to New Barn?
Longfield station, about 1.2 miles west of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you come to New Barn?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including New Barn and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A spot well away from the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
