What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us

What to tell us

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Lunsford in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Lunsford questions
What’s the nearest station to Lunsford?
New Hythe station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Could you cook in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Light by the serving table
