A hog roast near Lynsore Bottom
How our hog roast hire works in Lynsore Bottom
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Lynsore Bottom: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
In a small place like Lynsore Bottom, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Lynsore Bottom: venues, access and local tips
Lynsore Bottom is about 5 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Lynsore Bottom is well within our area for events. Lynsore Bottom is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
Churches such as Church of St Peter and St Paul rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. A green space like Jumping Downs is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Lynsore Bottom is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
