Wye questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Wye and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

In a small place like Wye, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Planning the cooking spot

- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A heads-up for next door

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.

Before you book anyone
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- How dietary needs are handled
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

Prices and what affects them
