In a small place like Ringwould, a hog roast often 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.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Ringwould, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Put the menu on the invitation
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
A closer look at the menu
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.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Questions from Ringwould
What’s the nearest station to Ringwould?
Walmer station, about 1.3 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
