Planning a hog roast in Worth
Worth is about 3 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. We cater events across Worth and nearby. Worth is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Worth to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Parks such as Ham Fen normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. If guests are travelling by rail, Sandwich station is about 1.1 miles away. Worth is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
Wherever your event is in CT14, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include The Street, Temple Way and St Crispin Close; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. If your venue is just outside Worth, we also cover Felderland (1 mile west), Ham (1 mile south-west), Hacklinge (1 mile south-east), Statenborough (1 mile west) and Sandwich (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (9 miles north), Dover (8 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south-west), Ramsgate (6 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (8 miles north-east).
A little further out are Sandown Castle (2.7 miles south-east) and The Precinct Toy Collection (1.5 miles north). Within reach you will find Monk's Wall nature reserve.
- Schools near Worth include Sandwich Technology School (0.8 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Blue Pigeons pub (within half a mile north-east)

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Light matters for a long roast: in Worth, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access

Is Worth close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
