Hog roast hire in Capel-le-Ferne, slow-roasted on site
People book a hog roast in Capel-le-Ferne for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We are often asked to cater christmas parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Somewhere as small as Capel-le-Ferne, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late September evenings in Capel-le-Ferne lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Is all of Kent covered?
We cater across Kent, including Capel-le-Ferne. Contact us for a price.
Can you roast in the rain?

Bringing a hog roast to Capel-le-Ferne
Capel-le-Ferne is about 2 miles north-east of Folkestone, in Kent. Events in Capel-le-Ferne are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. We cater all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
A green space like East Cliff and Warren Country Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. For anyone arriving by rail, the nearest station is Folkestone Central station, about 2.4 miles south-west. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Capel-le-Ferne. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access. The coast is within about 3 miles of Capel-le-Ferne, and sea breezes can be strong. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
For events in CT18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include New Dover Road, Alexandra Road and Clarence Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Satmar (1 mile north-east), West Hougham (1 mile north-east), Drellingore (2 miles north), South Alkham (2 miles north) and Church Hougham (2 miles east).

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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
