Hosting a hog roast party in Chitty
Chitty is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Parties in Chitty are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. We cater 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
If you had Grove Ferry Picnic Area in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. A christening at Church of St Mary the Virgin followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
We cater parties across the CT3 postcode area and the streets around it. For parties just outside Chitty, we cover Chislet (1 mile west), Hollow Street (1 mile south-west), Boyden Gate (1 mile north-west), Old Tree (1 mile west) and Highstead (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (7 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles east), Broadstairs (10 miles east) and Whitstable (7 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include St Martins Hospital (5.8 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find West Blean and Thornden Woods.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your party in Chitty. For an evening party in Chitty, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

How we price a hog roast for your party
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Chitty: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Chitty?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cater in Chitty?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. 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 book with us
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
