There’s a railway station in Sevenoaks itself: Sevenoaks station, handy for guests travelling by train.

Planning a hog roast in TN13
There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in TN13, so the setting can be anything from Sevenoaks, Riverhead and Greatness to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across TN13, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Sevenoaks: For anyone arriving by rail, Sevenoaks has its own station, Sevenoaks station. A green space like Montreal Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. In Sevenoaks, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.

Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
