Lunchtime bookings in New Hythe are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to New Hythe
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or ME20 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
