How our hog roast hire works in Sheerness
People book a hog roast in Sheerness for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater clubhouse events and weddings, day or evening.
Around Sheerness, bookings are frequently at homes, village halls and playing fields. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Sheerness questions
Is Sheerness close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cater across Kent. Contact us for a price.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Light matters for a long roast: in Sheerness, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning a hog roast in Sheerness
Sheerness is about 7 miles north of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Wherever your event is in Sheerness, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cater 922 places in Kent. Our bookings stretch from Sheerness to Canterbury (about 18 miles away).
A green space like Barton's Point Coastal Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Rose Street Primary School, can book a hog roast stall.
We cater events across the ME12 postcode area. Your event could be at a house on High Street, Granville Road and Millennium Way, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Sheerness sits on or near the A249 and A250, so getting the roaster to your event is simple.
