What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
China crockery is available for client events.
Common questions in Eythorne
Is Eythorne close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planning a team lunch in Eythorne
Eythorne is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. We cover Eythorne and its neighbours for staff events. Eythorne is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Eythorne to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Historic houses near Eythorne include Goodnestone Park (3.6 miles north-west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for outside caterers. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Shepherds Well station, about 1.8 miles west, is the nearest station. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 8 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. Within about 6 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Wherever your staff event is in CT15, we can roast on site for your staff, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your staff event is on The Street, Sandwich Road and New Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Close by, we cover staff events in Waldershare (1 mile south-west), Sibertswold (2 miles south-west), Coldred (2 miles south-west), Halfway Street (2 miles south-west) and Lydden (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (10 miles north-west), Margate (14 miles north), Dover (4 miles south), Folkestone (9 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Dover Transport Museum (3.5 miles south) and Buckland Hospital (4.7 miles south).
- Nearby, you will find The White Horse pub (under half a mile north-west)
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a staff lunch in Eythorne, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
