Party hog roast in Hythe, carved to order
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater big family get-togethers and engagement parties, serving jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
Garden parties are a favourite in Hythe, with a local hall or club as a good back-up. All we need is a level spot with clearance. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hythe
Can you do a hog roast in Oaklands Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Party venues around Hythe
Hythe is about 4 miles west of Folkestone, in Kent. Hythe and the surrounding area are covered for parties. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Hythe to Canterbury (14 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Oaklands Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Sandling station, roughly 1.4 miles north-west of the centre. Hythe is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about a mile, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
Parties anywhere in CT21 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Your party could be at a house on High Street, Church Road and Station Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Main roads around Hythe include the A259 and A261, which makes travel to your party easy.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A summer party in Hythe stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
