About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved at the serving station for a festive feel.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Small Hythe in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year

FAQs for Small Hythe
Do you come out to small places like Small Hythe?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Small Hythe from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

- A lit route to the food
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Parking near the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
