Party hog roast in Leybourne
For event organisers in Leybourne
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How our party hog roast works in Leybourne
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We serve apple sauce, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater reunions and naming ceremonies.
Country parties near Leybourne suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

FAQs for Leybourne
How far is Leybourne from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Where does the hog roast go?
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.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage

- A word with the neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Jacket potatoes
- Crackling

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in Leybourne need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
