About our party hog roast in Perry
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and family reunions, serving coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Perry, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.

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.
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.
Perry parties: what to know
Perry is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Planning a hog roast for your party in Perry? We can help. Perry is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
For party guests on the train, Adisham station, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the nearest station. If the day starts at Elmstone Church, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back.
For parties in CT3, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Your party could be at a house on Walmestone Road and Perry Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Nash (1 mile east), Shatterling (1 mile south), Hoaden (1 mile east), Elmstone (1 mile north) and Broomhill (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (7 miles west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (11 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south), Ramsgate (8 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (10 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include St Martins Hospital (5.6 miles west). The countryside around Perry includes Monk's Wall nature reserve.

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Sunset in Perry is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
