FAQs for Hampton
Can you cater after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Hampton close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Party hog roast in Hampton, carved to order
For a christening or naming day in Hampton, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, without anyone stuck cooking. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding anniversaries and summer parties in the garden, with jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
For a party in Hampton, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Where the roaster can go in Hampton
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Jacket potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Hosting a hog roast party in Hampton
Hampton is about 2 miles west of Herne Bay, in Kent. We take a hog roast for your party to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Hampton. Hampton is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Hampton to Canterbury (6 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Herne Bay station, roughly 1 mile south-east of the centre. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in CT6, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a party in a garden on Riley Avenue, Essex Avenue and Alvis Avenue, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Other places close to Hampton we cover include Swalecliffe (2 miles south-west), West End (2 miles south), Chestfield (2 miles south-west), Tankerton (2 miles west) and Radfall (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (6 miles south), Margate (12 miles east), Ramsgate (14 miles east), Broadstairs (14 miles east), Faversham (10 miles south-west) and Minster (13 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (2.2 miles west) and Tankerton Castle (2.8 miles west). The countryside around Hampton includes West Blean and Thornden Woods.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Every party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Who books party hog roast in Hampton?
The roast becomes part of the entertainment.
However big or small the event in Hampton, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Anniversary parties
- Retirement celebrations
- Milestone birthdays
- Family reunions
If the day starts at St Andrew's Church, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back.
Before booking anyone
- What the price includes, item by item
- What crockery is supplied

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
