Party hog roast in Lympne
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Party hog roast in Lympne, carved to order
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. Whether it is leaving and retirement do’s and big birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Lympne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Autumn parties in Lympne get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Lympne
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Stephen?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Lympne

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Parties in Lympne: homes, halls and local tips
Lympne is about 2 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. Planning a hog roast for your party in Lympne? We cover the whole area. Lympne is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Lympne to Canterbury (14 miles away).
A green space like Sandling Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (1.3 miles north). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Lympne, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
This part of Kent takes in CT21, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. Whether your party is on The Street, Harman Avenue and Tourney Close or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Berwick (1 mile north-east), West Hythe (1 mile south-east), Newingreen (1 mile north-east), Westenhanger (1 mile north-east) and Pedlinge (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (8 miles north-west), Canterbury (14 miles north), Dover (13 miles east), Folkestone (6 miles east), Tower Hamlets (12 miles east) and Hawkinge (6 miles north-east).
