Party hog roast in Hunton
How our party hog roast works in Hunton
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Popular choices include apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and reunions.
In a small place like Hunton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, it is light in Hunton until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Planning a party in Hunton
Hunton is about 4 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. From village halls to gardens and fields, parties around Hunton suit a hog roast. We cover 922 places in Kent. Our bookings stretch from Hunton to Canterbury (27 miles away).
A green space like Quarry Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. After a christening at a church like St Mary's Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.
For parties in ME15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean a party in a garden on West Street, Bensted Close and Bishop's Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Benover (1 mile west), Yalding (1 mile north-west), Congelow (1 mile west), Chainhurst (1 mile south-east) and Laddingford (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (4 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (13 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (15 miles north) and Tonbridge (8 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Teapot Island (1.8 miles west) and Oakwood Hospital (3.7 miles north).
A hog roast compared with other options
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
