Slow-roasted pork in Meopham
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Party hog roast in Meopham, carved to order
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and big family get-togethers, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For a party in Meopham, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Sunset in Meopham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Meopham questions
Could you cook in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Meopham close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A clear quote with everything listed
