For a party in Coxheath, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Coxheath
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
