Party hog roast for East Stourmouth
About our party hog roast in East Stourmouth
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. For big family get-togethers and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
A country party near East Stourmouth is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in East Stourmouth
Can you do a hog roast in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is East Stourmouth too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater in East Stourmouth?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including East Stourmouth and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

East Stourmouth parties: what to know
East Stourmouth is about 6 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. East Stourmouth is well within our area for parties. East Stourmouth is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from East Stourmouth to Canterbury (about 8 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that Minster station, about 3.1 miles east, is the nearest station. After a christening at a church like All Saints Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.
This part of Kent takes in CT3, so your party can be anywhere in it. That could mean a party in a garden on The Street and School Lane, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to parties in West Stourmouth (1 mile west), Westmarsh (1 mile south-east), Preston (1 mile south-west), Ware (2 miles south-east) and Sarre (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (8 miles west), Margate (7 miles north-east), Dover (13 miles south), Ramsgate (7 miles east), Broadstairs (8 miles east) and Whitstable (10 miles west).
Green spaces nearby include Monk's Wall nature reserve.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Think about children’s portions
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in East Stourmouth need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
