Questions from Hillborough
Can you roast near the sea around Hillborough?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Hillborough?
Herne Bay station, about 2.2 miles west of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cater in Hillborough?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hillborough and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Party hog roast in Hillborough, slow-roasted on site
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Hillborough suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. Whether it is family reunions and big birthday parties, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and apple sauce.
For a party in Hillborough, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Parties in Hillborough: homes, halls and local tips
Hillborough is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. From village halls to gardens and fields, parties around Hillborough suit a hog roast. Hillborough is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Herne Bay station, roughly 2.2 miles west of the centre. If you had Bishopstone Cliffs in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. The coast is within about 2 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
