We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Whether it is festive gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers and more.
In and around Dymchurch, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot

Bringing a hog roast to Dymchurch
Dymchurch is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Our roaster is a regular sight at events around Dymchurch, from gardens to fields. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Dymchurch to Canterbury (about 17 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St Peter and St Paul rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. Historic houses near Dymchurch include Westenhanger Castle (4.5 miles north). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. The coast is within about 5 miles of Dymchurch, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
We bring hog roasts to events all over TN29 and CT21. Your event could be at a house on High Street, Station Road and The Oval or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to events in Donkey Street (1 mile north), West Hythe (3 miles north-east), Palmarsh (3 miles north-east), Lympne (3 miles north) and Berwick (4 miles north).

Other landmarks nearby include Lympne Castle (2.9 miles north).

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Light matters for a long roast: around Dymchurch, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare

Common questions in Dymchurch
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Dymchurch?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Do you cover Dymchurch?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
