A hog roast or other catering?

Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef

FAQs for Waltham
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Waltham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
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.

- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
