Stansted parties: what to know
Stansted is about 6 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Wherever your party is in Stansted, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Stansted is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 20 miles away.
A christening at Church of St Mary followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Guests arriving by train should know that Borough Green & Wrotham station is about 2.9 miles away. Stansted is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in TN15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Whether your party is on Parsons Lane, Plaxdale Green Road and Hatham Green Lane or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Close by, we cover parties in Ash (2 miles north), West Kingsdown (2 miles north-west), West Yoke (2 miles north), Knatts Valley (2 miles west) and Fawkham Green (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (11 miles south-east), Dartford (8 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (6 miles south-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south), Gravesend (7 miles north-east) and Tonbridge (9 miles south).

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are 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.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Questions from Stansted
Can you do a hog roast in Trosley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Stansted?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
