What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Hog roast hire in Highstreet, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Highstreet: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it’s birthdays and anniversaries and festive gatherings, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere as small as Highstreet, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Highstreet: venues, access and local tips
Highstreet is about 3 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. We’re happy to travel to Highstreet for events. Highstreet is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater.
A green space like Foxes Cross Bottom is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Highstreet 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.
Here we cover the ME13 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Thanet Way and Highstreet 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 Waterham (1 mile west), Dargate (1 mile south-west), Seasalter (1 mile north), Hernhill (2 miles south-west) and Slutshole (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (14 miles south), Canterbury (5 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles west), Whitstable (3 miles north-east), Faversham (4 miles west) and Herne Bay (7 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (3.6 miles north-east) and Tankerton Castle (3.3 miles north-east). Within reach you will find Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.

About 48 miles from central London.
