Book a hog roast in Postling Green
How our hog roast hire works in Postling Green
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include festive gatherings and wakes, serving salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
In a hamlet or village like Postling Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Parking near the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo

Bringing a hog roast to Postling Green
Postling Green is about 5 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in Postling Green, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Postling Green is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Postling Green to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St Martin rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. Thinking of a hog roast in Poulton Wood? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Postling Green is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers. Postling Green is within about 6 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Your questions about a hog roast in Postling Green
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Poulton Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
