Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Evening parties in Hextable need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Party hog roast near Hextable
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and neighbourhood parties, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes.
For a party in Hextable, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Hextable: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hextable?
The closest is Swanley station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
