- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose

Party hog roast in Hever, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. Whether it is engagement celebrations and big birthday parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.
A country party near Hever is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Questions from Hever
Is Hever close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Hever?
Hever station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
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.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. 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.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- A clear quote with everything listed
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A heads-up for next door

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A summer party in Hever stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early

If you had Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Peter, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Hever, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
