DIY versus a catered hog roast

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Bishopstone is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. From village halls to gardens and fields, staff events around Bishopstone suit a hog roast. Bishopstone is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Bishopstone to Canterbury (8 miles away).
Commuters will know that the closest railway station is Herne Bay station, roughly 2.4 miles west of the centre. The coast is within about 2 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
