Old Romney: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Old Romney?
Appledore (Kent) station, about 4.5 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Old Romney from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Where the roaster can go in Old Romney
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people

Step by step

For an evening party in Old Romney, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
