Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why choose a hog roast in Hythe?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

- An itemised quote

How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Hythe is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
