Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Milstead parties: what to know
Milstead is about 3 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We take a hog roast for your party to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Milstead and the surrounding area. Milstead is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
Thinking of a hog roast in Cromers Wood? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Guests arriving by train should know that Sittingbourne station is about 3.2 miles away. Milstead is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in ME9 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party in a garden on Frinsted Road, Manor Road and Horn Hill or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Milstead, we also cover Hollybushes (1 mile south-east), Bluetown (1 mile south-east), Frinsted (1 mile south-west), Wichling (2 miles south-east) and Doddington (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (9 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south-east), Canterbury (15 miles east), Sittingbourne (3 miles north), Whitstable (14 miles east) and Faversham (7 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (3 miles north) and Newnham Castle (3.2 miles east).
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A heads-up for next door
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Milstead: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Milstead?
Sittingbourne station, about 3.2 miles north of the centre.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
