About our party hog roast in Chiddingstone Hoath
For a christening or naming day in Chiddingstone Hoath, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. We serve coleslaw, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary parties and milestone birthdays.
Country parties near Chiddingstone Hoath suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
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 normally easier.
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.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A spot well away from the house
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Chiddingstone Hoath until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
