Planning a party in London Beach
London Beach is about 8 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. We are happy to travel to London Beach for parties and the places nearby. London Beach is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from London Beach to Canterbury (21 miles away).
Historic houses near London Beach include Smallhythe Place (4.2 miles south). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Thinking of a hog roast in Wattle Wood? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of London Beach, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Parties anywhere in TN30 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Streets in the area include Biddenden Road and Ashford Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include St Michaels (1 mile south), Tenterden (2 miles south), Parkgate (2 miles south-west), Clapper Hill (2 miles west) and Broad Tenterden (3 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (14 miles north-west), Ashford (8 miles east), Foley Park (14 miles north-west), Paddock Wood (14 miles north-west), Bearsted (13 miles north-west) and Park Wood (11 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Benenden Hospital (3.2 miles west) and Tenterden and District Museum (2 miles south).
- Local schools include Homewood School (1.3 miles south)
About our party hog roast in London Beach

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
