Party hog roast near Eastry
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and big family get-togethers, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and coleslaw.
In a place like Eastry, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Why choose a hog roast in Eastry?

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Eastry is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
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.

The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
