- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.

If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Bossingham is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We bring hog roasts to parties all over the CT4 postcode area and the streets around it.

Organising for someone else?

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Served at the time you choose

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
