Questions from Halfway Street
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cater in Halfway Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Halfway Street and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
