Party venues around Kemsley
Kemsley is about 1 mile north of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Hosts in Kemsley book us for parties of all sizes. We bring hog roasts to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
If the day starts at Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. A green space like Milton Creek Country Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Kemsley, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Parties anywhere in ME10 and ME9 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Whether your party is on Court Road, Menin Road and Hurst Lane or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Kemsley is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

FAQs for Kemsley
Can you do a hog roast in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Kemsley close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
