Party hog roast in Hucking, carved to order

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- The menu, including sides and any extras

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, it’s light in Hucking until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Hucking questions
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Stockbury Hill Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Why choose a hog roast in Hucking?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
