Party hog roast in Hackington, carved to order
After a christening near Hackington, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re frequently booked for milestone birthdays and engagement parties.
Near Hackington, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hackington
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Cosmus and St Damian: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Hackington?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you come to Hackington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hackington and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
