Cliffs End: venues, access and local tips
Cliffs End is about 2 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Events in Cliffs End are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Cliffs End to Canterbury (13 miles away).
If you had Sandwich and Pegwell Bay in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. For a fundraiser at a school like Chilton Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Cliffs End is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
This part of Kent takes in CT12. Local streets include Foads Lane, Moyes Close and Delacourt Close; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to events in Sevenscore (1 mile west), Chilton (1 mile east), Pegwell (1 mile east), Manston (1 mile north) and Ebbsfleet (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (13 miles west), Margate (4 miles north), Dover (14 miles south), Broadstairs (4 miles north-east), Whitstable (15 miles west) and Deal (8 miles south).
A little further out are RAF Manston History Museum (1.6 miles north-west) and Westwood Cross (2.4 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Local schools include Chatham House Grammar School (2.2 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include The Sportsman pub (within half a mile south)
Hog roast hire in Cliffs End, slow-roasted on site
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Cliffs End, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and weddings, day or evening, with salads, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere as small as Cliffs End, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Cliffs End questions
How far is Cliffs End from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Cliffs End too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evenings in Cliffs End stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day

- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
