Questions from Potters Corner
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Potters Corner close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of 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 will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening parties in Potters Corner need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
