Party hog roast in Adisham, slow-roasted on site
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Adisham, then carve at the time you choose, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include getting-engaged parties and back-garden get-togethers, serving jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Near Adisham, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
What affects the price in Adisham
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Sunset in Adisham is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Common questions in Adisham
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Adisham?

How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you do gluten-free?

Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Can you cater in Adisham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Adisham and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Where the roaster can go in Adisham
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
