How our party hog roast works in Eastling
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. We serve jacket potatoes, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and street parties.
Near Eastling, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.

Questions from Eastling
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Is Eastling too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
