What we serve, dish by dish

Party hog roast in Stone Corner, slow-roasted on site
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Typical bookings include big family get-togethers and big birthday parties, with hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling.
Country parties near Stone Corner suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Sunset in Stone Corner is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Stone Corner questions
What’s the nearest station to Stone Corner?
Appledore (Kent) station, about 3.9 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Stone Corner?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
