Parties in Burmarsh: homes, halls and local tips
Burmarsh is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Burmarsh and the surrounding area. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (3.5 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Westenhanger station, about 3.7 miles north-east. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in TN29, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Church Road, Painesfield Close and Thorndike Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Postling Green (3 miles north-west), St Mary's Bay (3 miles south), Newchurch (3 miles west), St Mary in the Marsh (3 miles south-west) and Aldington (4 miles north-west).

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Sides to make it a full meal

Burmarsh: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Burmarsh from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you cover Burmarsh?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For an evening party in Burmarsh, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
