A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Questions from Woodhatch
What’s the nearest station to Woodhatch?
Hildenborough station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
