Planning a hog roast in Lower Cox Street
Lower Cox Street is about 4 miles south of Gillingham, in Kent. Lower Cox Street is well within our area for events. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Lower Cox Street to Canterbury (about 21 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Lower Cox Street are Stoneacre (4.6 miles south) and Leeds Castle (5 miles south). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. A green space like White Horse Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Lower Cox Street, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
For events in ME14, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. If your venue is just outside Lower Cox Street, we also cover Scragged Oak (1 mile north-west), Kemsley Street (1 mile north-west), Bredhurst (1 mile north-west), Dunn Street (1 mile north-west) and Lidsing (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (5 miles south-west), Sittingbourne (6 miles east), Gravesend (12 miles north-west), Faversham (13 miles east), Northfleet (13 miles north-west) and Minster (11 miles north-east).

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late September evenings in Lower Cox Street lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
