How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. A summer party in Littlestone-on-Sea stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Littlestone-on-Sea questions
Is Littlestone-on-Sea close to London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
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 check it with you before booking.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
