How our party hog roast works in Clap Hill
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. For anniversary parties and neighbourhood parties, we can cook coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a small place like Clap Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Party venues around Clap Hill
Clap Hill is about 4 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. We cater parties of every size in Clap Hill. Clap Hill is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Clap Hill to Canterbury (14 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, Ham Street station, about 4.1 miles south-west, is the nearest station. A green space like Poulton Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Clap Hill is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Anywhere in TN25, we can bring the roaster to you. Nearby, we also cater parties in Aldington (1 mile south-east), Stonestreet Green (1 mile east), Bonnington (1 mile south-west), Aldington Frith (1 mile west) and Postling Green (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (4 miles north-west), Canterbury (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (10 miles east), Faversham (15 miles north), Hythe (6 miles east) and Preston (15 miles north).
Nearby you will also find Lympne Castle (4.1 miles south-east) and William Harvey Hospital (3.3 miles north). Within reach you will find Hatch Park.
- Local pubs include Walnut Tree Inn (less than half a mile south-east)
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A heads-up for next door
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset in Clap Hill is about 7:00pm; by December it is about 3:50pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
