Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Pembury
Can you do a hog roast in Brenchley Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Upper Church of St Peter?
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. Send us the address.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you cover Pembury?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Pembury and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
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.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
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 bring everything else.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
