Party hog roast in Eastchurch, slow-roasted on site
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. Whether it’s back-garden get-togethers and reunions, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and apple sauce.
Country parties near Eastchurch suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Common questions in Eastchurch
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Eastchurch too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
