Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.

We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.

For event organisers in Culmers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning a party in Culmers
Culmers is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. We cater parties across Culmers and nearby. We cater 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of All Saints, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. A green space like Mount Ephraim Gardens is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cater parties across ME13 and the streets around it.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Culmers, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A spot well away from the house
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
