Slow-roasted pork in Nonington
Party hog roast near Nonington
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it is street parties and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and coleslaw for your guests.
Country parties near Nonington suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Nonington
Which station is closest to Nonington?
The closest is Aylesham station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
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 serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. A summer party in Nonington stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

How we price a hog roast for your party
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
