Parties in Linkhill: homes, halls and local tips
Linkhill is about 11 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. Linkhill and the surrounding area are covered for parties. We bring hog roasts to 922 places in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 28 miles away.
Within reach of Linkhill are historic houses such as Great Dixter (1.8 miles south). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Linkhill is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in TN18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Other places close to Linkhill we cover include Sandhurst (1 mile west), Sandhurst Cross (2 miles west), Iden Green (2 miles north), Bodiam (2 miles south-west) and Four Throws (3 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (15 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (14 miles north-west), Tenterden (6 miles north-east), Park Wood (15 miles north), Staplehurst (10 miles north) and Stanhope (14 miles north-east).

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Questions from Linkhill
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Mission Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
