Planning an event in Kettle Corner?
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

FAQs for Kettle Corner
Can you do a hog roast in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you come to Kettle Corner?
Yes, Kettle Corner is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Kettle Corner, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
