Party hog roast near Dungeness
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Popular choices include coleslaw, crackling and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming ceremonies and leaving and retirement do’s.
Country parties near Dungeness suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A summer party in Dungeness stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A heads-up for next door
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
