Eddington parties: what to know
Eddington is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent. We cover Eddington and its neighbours for parties. We cover 922 places across Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Martin, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Parks such as Curtis Wood normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. The coast is within about 2 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Parties anywhere in CT6 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Streets in the area include Parkland Road, Cooper Drive and Sidney Grove, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Bullockstone (1 mile south-west), Herne (1 mile south-east), Greenhill (1 mile west), Hunters Forstal (1 mile east) and Herne Bay (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (6 miles south), Margate (11 miles east), Ramsgate (13 miles east), Broadstairs (13 miles east), Whitstable (4 miles west) and Deal (15 miles south-east).
A little further out are Tankerton Castle (3.8 miles west) and Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (3.2 miles west). Open spaces near Eddington include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Schools near Eddington include Herne Bay Infant School (0.7 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include Queen's Head Public House (0.8 miles north)
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Eddington questions
Can you do a hog roast in Curtis Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Eddington 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.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.

A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
