About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
How our party hog roast works in Kingsnorth
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. Whether it is wedding anniversaries and leaving and retirement do’s, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce.
Country parties near Kingsnorth suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Parties in Kingsnorth: homes, halls and local tips
Kingsnorth is about 2 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. We cover Kingsnorth and its neighbours for parties. Kingsnorth is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Kingsnorth to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Michael, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. If you had Ashford Green Corridors in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Kingsnorth is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Anywhere in TN23 and TN26, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your party is on Church Hill, South Lea and Ashford Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an evening party in Kingsnorth, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
