Party hog roast near Payden Street
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Payden Street, then carve at the time you choose, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater summer parties in the garden and close and cul-de-sac parties, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Payden Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What affects the price in Payden Street
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, it’s light in Payden Street 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.

Questions from Payden Street
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Payden Street?
Lenham station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
