The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, sunset in Lenham is about 7:00pm; by December it is about 3:50pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

How our party hog roast works in Lenham
After a christening near Lenham, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. Typical bookings include getting-engaged parties and leaving and retirement do’s, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
Parties around Lenham are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
