How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an evening party in Chipstead, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Hosting a hog roast party in Chipstead
Chipstead is about 2 miles west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Parties in Chipstead are part of our patch. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Chipstead to London (18 miles away).
Historic houses near Chipstead include Knole House (2.8 miles south-east) and Quebec House (3.4 miles west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
