What else we do in Leadingcross Green
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Leadingcross Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Leadingcross Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you cater in Leadingcross Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Leadingcross Green and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
For event organisers in Leadingcross Green
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Venues often 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.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. 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. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer wedding in Leadingcross Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
