Slow-roasted pork in East Farleigh
Party hog roast in East Farleigh, slow-roasted on site
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it is close and cul-de-sac parties and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
In a small place like East Farleigh, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evening parties in East Farleigh need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

East Farleigh: your questions answered
Is East Farleigh close to London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you cover East Farleigh?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including East Farleigh and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Working with your venue
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.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

East Farleigh parties: what to know
East Farleigh is about 2 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Wherever your party is in East Farleigh, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. East Farleigh is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 26 miles away.
A christening at Church of Saint Mary followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. A green space like Quarry Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. East Farleigh is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Here we cover the ME15 and ME16 postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. Your party could be at a house on Station Road, Lower Road and Kilnbridge Close, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster.

What affects the price in East Farleigh
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to East Farleigh
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
