A hog roast across ME5: what to know
ME5 covers everything from Gillingham, Chatham and Luton to 2 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Chatham: Nearby historic houses include Restoration House (2.4 miles north-west) and Temple Manor (2.9 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Parks such as Darland Banks generally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Evenings in Chatham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
