What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Hog roast hire for your event in Tunstall
In Tunstall, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Whether it’s club events and presentations and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes.
In a hamlet or village like Tunstall, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Your questions about a hog roast in Tunstall
Could you cook in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Tunstall too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Around midsummer it stays light in Tunstall until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How we price a hog roast
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
A hog roast in Tunstall: local details
Tunstall is about 1 mile south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Thinking about a hog roast in Tunstall? We can help. Tunstall is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Tunstall to Canterbury (16 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St John the Baptist rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. If you had Cromers Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Tunstall. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
We cover events in every part of ME9 and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside Tunstall, we also cover Heart's Delight (1 mile north-west), Borden (1 mile north-west), Highsted (1 mile east), Rodmersham Green (1 mile east) and Sittingbourne (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (9 miles south-west), Ashford (14 miles south-east), Whitstable (14 miles east), Faversham (7 miles east), Minster (7 miles north-east) and Kings Hill (14 miles west).

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and 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
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
