FAQs for Postling Green
What’s the nearest station to Postling Green?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Martin: 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding in Postling Green. At a December wedding in Postling Green, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.

How to prepare

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
