Hog roast hire for Kearsney
Hog roast hire in Kearsney, slow-roasted on site
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas fairs and clubhouse events.
A place like Kearsney often has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Common questions in Kearsney
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you cover Kearsney?
Yes, Kearsney is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Time on site

- The journey to the venue

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A hog roast in Kearsney: local details
Kearsney is about 1 mile north-west of Dover, in Kent. Events in Kearsney are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Kearsney is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Kearsney to Canterbury (12 miles away).
If you had Old Park Hill in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. PTAs at schools such as Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Kearsney, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access. Kearsney 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.
Anywhere in CT16 and CT17, we can roast on site for your guests. Local streets include Park Road, Lower Road and The Avenue; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For events just outside Kearsney, we cover Temple Ewell (1 mile north), River (1 mile south-east), Whitfield (1 mile north-east), Wolverton (1 mile west) and Dover (1 mile south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Folkestone (6 miles south-west), Ramsgate (15 miles north-east), Deal (7 miles north-east), Hythe (10 miles south-west) and Walmer (7 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Crabble Corn Mill (0.7 miles south-east) and Dover Castle (2.7 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Dover Western Heights.
- Nearby schools include Dover Christ Church Academy (1.6 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you will find Royal Oak Cottage The Royal Oak Public House (0.5 miles south-east)
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Kearsney is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Other occasions in Kearsney
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
