Greatstone-on-Sea questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Greatstone-on-Sea from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
For event organisers in Greatstone-on-Sea
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
