Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Monkton parties: what to know
Monkton is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. Hosts in Monkton book us for parties of all sizes. Monkton is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
Historic houses near Monkton include Quex Park (2.6 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. The coast is within about 6 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.
For parties in CT12, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include Monkton Street, Collards Close and Seamark Close, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, it is light in Monkton until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
