Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Thinking of a hog roast in Ham Fen? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Statenborough: venues, access and local tips
Statenborough is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Our roaster is a regular sight at events around Statenborough, from gardens to fields. Statenborough is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Statenborough to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Sandwich Technology School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Churches such as Church of St George rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. The coast is within about 5 miles of Statenborough, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
Events anywhere in CT14 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Close by, we cover events in Felderland (1 mile east), Ham (1 mile south-east), Woodnesborough (1 mile north-west), Eastry (1 mile south-west) and Worth (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (11 miles west), Margate (9 miles north), Dover (8 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south-west), Ramsgate (7 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (9 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Sandown Castle (3.6 miles east) and The Precinct Toy Collection (1.7 miles north-east). Within reach you will find Monk's Wall nature reserve.
- Local schools include Eastry Church of England Primary School (1 mile south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Bull Inn And Rear Courtyard (0.9 miles south-west)
Statenborough: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Statenborough?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cover Statenborough?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Statenborough and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you travel across Kent?
We cater across Kent, including Statenborough. Ask for a quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Light matters for a long roast: in Statenborough, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
