Slow-roasted pork in Eastwood
How our party hog roast works in Eastwood
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. For naming ceremonies and getting-engaged parties, we can cook coleslaw, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls.
A country party near Eastwood is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Common questions in Eastwood
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Eastwood close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Eastwood stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
