Party hog roast in Kenardington, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Whether it is reunions and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Kenardington, 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. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Kenardington questions
Is Kenardington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Kenardington?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Sunset in Kenardington is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
