About our party hog roast in Hawkhurst
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For engagement celebrations and back-garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, apple sauce and jacket potatoes.
For a party in Hawkhurst, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Hosting a hog roast party in Hawkhurst
Hawkhurst is about 12 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Hosts in Hawkhurst book us for parties of all sizes. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 29 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Great Dixter (5 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. A green space like Collingwood Nature Reserve is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Hawkhurst, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in TN18 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. From High Street, Barretts Road and Norris Close or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Beal's Green (1 mile north), Pipsden (1 mile east), The Moor (1 mile south-west), Gill's Green (1 mile north) and Little Conghurst (1 mile south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (15 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (12 miles north-west), Tonbridge (14 miles north-west), Paddock Wood (10 miles north-west), Tenterden (8 miles east) and Southborough (13 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Ticehurst House Hospital (4.9 miles west).
- Nearby schools include Marlborough House School (0.5 miles west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Queen's Hotel (under half a mile south-east)
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
It is easy to get a price: 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.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Autumn parties in Hawkhurst get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
