Party hog roast in Lydd-on-Sea, slow-roasted on site
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Typical bookings include ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and christenings, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and coleslaw.
In a small place like Lydd-on-Sea, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Site access
- Numbers

For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What else we do in Lydd-on-Sea
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn parties in Lydd-on-Sea get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
