How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people

About our party hog roast in Petham
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We roast on site in Petham, then carve at the time you choose, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. For back-garden get-togethers and wedding anniversaries, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and coleslaw and more.
A country party near Petham is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Common questions in Petham
Do you come out to small places like Petham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Petham?
The closest is Chartham station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Petham, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
