Party hog roast in Kent: what to expect

A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Kent, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Typical bookings include big birthday parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, with jacket potatoes, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.

Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

What you’ll pay

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Celebrations across Kent

In Kent’s towns, a party at home often means a compact garden and a side gate; in its villages, more space but narrower lanes. Tell us which applies to you. The Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Kent, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 219 of the places we cover in Kent are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Maidstone: If the day starts at St Philip's Church, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. Historic houses near Maidstone include Stoneacre (2.4 miles south-east) and Leeds Castle (4.6 miles east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. By late September, sunset in Maidstone is about 7:00pm; by December it’s about 3:50pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.

What comes off the roaster

Crackling

Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Rotisserie chicken

For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.

Organising for someone else?

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Let us know roughly how many children
Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Collect dietary needs when guests reply

Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.

A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Should I cook it myself?

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.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Kent: your questions answered

How much will it be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

Will there be enough to go round?

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

Will the smell bother the neighbours?

A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.

Can you work around our timings?

We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

How much room do you need?

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.

Do you come to Kent?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
