A hog roast across DA4: what to know
Across DA4, we cover 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Sutton at Hone, South Darenth and Farningham or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of DA4 are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Sutton at Hone: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Among the historic houses close to Sutton at Hone are Lullingstone Castle (3.9 miles south-west) and Hall Place and Gardens (4.3 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Around midsummer it stays light in Sutton at Hone until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Questions to ask before booking
- Which meats, sides and extras are included

- Plates, china and cutlery
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Permission from the venue or landowner
DA4 questions

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
