Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Romney Street
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’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Kemsing Down?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Space well clear of tents and trees
