Hog roast hire for your event in Kent Street
People book a hog roast in Kent Street for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. For wakes and memorial gatherings and clubhouse events, we will put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and salads and more.
In a small place like Kent Street, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What else we do in Kent Street
Planning a hog roast in Kent Street
Kent Street is about 6 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. A hog roast suits events around Kent Street, whatever the venue. Kent Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Kent Street to London (about 26 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Manor Park Country Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (2.8 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking.
We cater events across the ME18 postcode area and the streets around it. From Kent Street and Malling Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. If your venue is just outside Kent Street, we also cover Herne Pound (1 mile south-west), Mereworth (1 mile south), New Pound (1 mile west), Pizien Well (1 mile south-east) and Swanton (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (6 miles east), Dartford (14 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (9 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (11 miles north) and Tonbridge (7 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Beechin Wood Archery Museum (2.5 miles north-west) and Maidstone Hospital (4.3 miles east).
- Local pubs include The Queens Head Public House (within half a mile south-west)
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Common questions in Kent Street
Can you do a hog roast in Manor Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Kent Street from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater in Kent Street?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evenings in Kent Street stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.

- Travel to Kent Street

What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like

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.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
