Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Common questions in Styants Bottom
Which station is closest to Styants Bottom?
Kemsing station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cover Styants Bottom?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Styants Bottom and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
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.
