Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Oare questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Oare?
The closest is Faversham station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. At midsummer, it’s light in Oare until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people

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.

- The date and time of the event
