A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A heads-up for next door
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Dean Street: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint Mary?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you cover Dean Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Dean Street and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. A summer party in Dean Street stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
