Party hog roast in Hareplain, carved to order
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and getting-engaged parties.
In a small place like Hareplain, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Common questions in Hareplain
How far is Hareplain from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Hareplain?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
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.
Why choose a hog roast in Hareplain?
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
What affects the price in Hareplain
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
