How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Daytime open days in Sittingbourne are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Sittingbourne: your questions answered
Is Sittingbourne close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
