Slow-roasted pork in Chiddingstone Causeway
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, it is light in Chiddingstone Causeway until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Chiddingstone Causeway
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Luke: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Chiddingstone Causeway?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
