Party hog roast in Calcott, carved to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for anniversary parties and big family get-togethers.
Country parties near Calcott suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How we price a hog roast for your party
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CT3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planning a party in Calcott
Calcott is about 3 miles south of Herne Bay, in Kent. We cover Calcott and its neighbours for parties. Calcott is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
A green space like Curtis Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
This part of Kent takes in CT3, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. If your venue is just outside Calcott, we also cover Hicks Forstal (1 mile north-east), Broad Oak (1 mile south), Sturry (1 mile south), Herne Common (1 mile north) and Westbere (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (3 miles south-west), Margate (12 miles east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Ramsgate (13 miles east), Broadstairs (14 miles east) and Whitstable (4 miles north-west).
A little further out are Canterbury Castle (3.8 miles south-west) and St Martins Hospital (3.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Nearby schools include Spires Academy (1.5 miles south-east) and Frank Montgomery School (1.5 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include Royal Oak Public House (0.9 miles south-west)
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
