Hog roast hire for Tyler Hill
Common questions in Tyler Hill
Could you cook in Tyler Hill Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around Tyler Hill?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
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 photo if you are unsure.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Hog roast hire in Tyler Hill, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Tyler Hill. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. Popular choices include new potatoes, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and wakes and memorial gatherings.
In a hamlet or village like Tyler Hill, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Tyler Hill
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Bringing a hog roast to Tyler Hill
Tyler Hill is about 2 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. We cater events of every size in Tyler Hill. Tyler Hill is one of 922 places in Kent we cover.
Coming by train? The nearest station is Canterbury West station, about 1.6 miles south. A green space like Tyler Hill Meadow is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Tyler Hill is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
This part of Kent takes in CT2, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. We can cater an event on streets such as St Johns Crescent, Link Road and Summer Lane, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Close by, we cover events in Hackington (1 mile south-east), Blean (1 mile west), Honey Hill (2 miles west), Radfall (2 miles north) and Denstroude (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (15 miles south-west), Margate (15 miles east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles west), Ramsgate (15 miles east) and Whitstable (3 miles north-west).

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Tyler Hill, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
