About our party hog roast in Larkfield
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement parties and family reunions.
Country parties near Larkfield suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Larkfield questions
Which station is closest to Larkfield?
New Hythe station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
