Party hog roast in Chilmington Green, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. We’re frequently asked to cater leaving and retirement do’s and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, with apple sauce, jacket potatoes and crackling.
In a small place like Chilmington Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Chilmington Green parties: what to know
Chilmington Green is about 2 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. We’re happy to travel to Chilmington Green for parties. Chilmington Green is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Ashford International station is about 2.3 miles away. A green space like Ashford Community Woodland is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Chilmington Green, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in TN23, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean a party in a garden on Mock Lane, Oakwood Mews and Hays Mews or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Chilmington Green, we also cover Great Chart (1 mile north-east), Fleeden (1 mile west), Daniel's Water (1 mile north-west), Stanhope (1 mile east) and Stubb's Cross (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (15 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles north), Folkestone (15 miles east), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (12 miles east) and Davington (13 miles north).
A little further out are County Square (2.3 miles north-east) and William Harvey Hospital (3.9 miles east). Open spaces near Chilmington Green include Orlestone Forest.
- Local schools include John Wallis Academy (1.4 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Little Black Dog pub (0.9 miles north-east)
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evening parties in Chilmington Green need a little planning: it is 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.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
