Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. Typical bookings include wedding anniversaries and garden parties, with crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw.
A country party near New Hythe is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for New Hythe
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to New Hythe?
New Hythe has its own station: New Hythe station.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In New Hythe, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
