Party hog roast near Hassell Street
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it’s naming ceremonies and street parties, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce for your guests.
A country party near Hassell Street is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or TN25 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Common questions in Hassell Street
What’s the nearest station to Hassell Street?
Wye station, about 2.7 miles west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover Hassell Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hassell Street and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening parties in Hassell Street need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
