Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, it’s light in Palmarsh until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Party venues around Palmarsh
Palmarsh is about 2 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Palmarsh and the surrounding area are covered for parties. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
Parks such as Brockhill Country Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (2.3 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Palmarsh is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Here we cover the CT21 postcode area. Whether your party is on Nickolls Road, Blackman Road and Burmarsh Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include West Hythe (1 mile north-west), Pedlinge (1 mile north), Lympne (1 mile north-west), Berwick (1 mile north-west) and Hythe (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (10 miles north-west), Canterbury (15 miles north), Dover (12 miles north-east), Folkestone (5 miles east), Tower Hamlets (12 miles north-east) and Hawkinge (6 miles north-east).

Palmarsh: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Holy Cross?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Where the roaster can go in Palmarsh
