A country party near Haine is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A step-free way into the garden
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Haine is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Haine questions
Which station is closest to Haine?
Ramsgate station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Haine close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
