Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Party hog roast in Drellingore, slow-roasted on site
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Whether it is ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and naming ceremonies, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls for your guests.
Near Drellingore, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning a party in Drellingore
Drellingore is about 2 miles east of Hawkinge, in Kent. Parties in Drellingore are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Drellingore is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Drellingore to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Michael, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Thinking of a hog roast in Sladden Wood? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Drellingore, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.

What else we do in Drellingore
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How it works
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, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Drellingore until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Parking close to the house
- A heads-up for next door
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For event organisers in Drellingore
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
