Party hog roast in Hoath, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and garden parties.
In a small place like Hoath, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
How we price a hog roast for your party
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
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.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn parties in Hoath get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hoath
Do you come out to small places like Hoath?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Cross?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Hoath is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We cater parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Hoath. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent.
A green space like Curtis Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. For party guests on the train, the nearest station is Herne Bay station, about 2.9 miles north-west. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
