Common questions in Tenterden
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Turners Field?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
A hog roast compared with other options
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. 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 you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Sides to make it a full meal

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
