Event catering in Hythe, served hot
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue offers more choice. Plenty of events in Hythe have both, and we will help you decide. Whether it’s crew lunches and christmas parties, we can cook salads, beef burgers and hog roast rolls with crackling.
Venues in Hythe range from village-style halls and clubs to hotels and function rooms. Wherever there is room outside to cook, we can work. We cater the food, cooked on site, whether it is a hog roast, a barbecue or both.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work for our catering if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide enough for our equipment
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)

How the day works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. For an evening event in Hythe, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up on the agreed spot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Is our catering right for your event?
Next to a sit-down dinner, hog roast and barbecue food keeps things informal, but it can still be served on plates with sides. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Hythe events: venues and access
Hythe is about 4 miles west of Folkestone, in Kent. Events in Hythe are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. We cater all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
If the day starts at a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels, the food can be ready at a reception venue close by. Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (2.7 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Hythe. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules for outside caterers and cooking, so check with yours. With the coast within about a mile of Hythe, wind is worth planning for: we choose a sheltered cooking spot and secure our cover.
Here we cover the CT21 postcode area. Local streets include High Street, Church Road and Station Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. With the A259 and A261 close by, Hythe is easy for us to reach with the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to events in Folkestone (4 miles east), Ashford (10 miles north-west), Dover (11 miles north-east), Canterbury (14 miles north) and Deal (17 miles north-east).

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
All the cooking kit comes with us, so you do not need to borrow anything for the cooking.
Add sides for a proper meal.
Hythe: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Hythe from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What events do you cater?
Everything from weddings and parties to staff days, fêtes, wakes and film sets.
What if our venue is indoors?
We cook outdoors under cover, but we can often serve inside if the venue agrees. Ask your venue what they allow.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
Not at all. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, which is why we can cater almost anywhere.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

How we price your catering
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Hythe
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
