FAQs for Guston
Is Guston too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Why choose a hog roast in Guston?
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Party venues around Guston
Guston is about 2 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. Planning a hog roast for your party in Guston? We can help. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Guston to Canterbury (14 miles away).
A green space like Connaught Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Historic houses near Guston include Walmer Castle (4.7 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Parties anywhere in CT15 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Streets in the area include The Street, Chance Meadow and The Lane, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Other places close to Guston we cover include East Langdon (1 mile north-east), Church Whitfield (1 mile north-west), West Cliffe (1 mile east), Martin Mill (2 miles north-east) and Charlton-in-Dover (2 miles south-west).

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A summer party in Guston stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day

- Give us a contact number for the day
