Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Cliffs End
Could you cook in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Is there a non-pork option?

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Cliffs End, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
