Party hog roast in Pluckley
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Pluckley
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or TN27 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Party hog roast in Pluckley, carved to order
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. We’re often asked to cater retirement celebrations and family reunions, with coleslaw, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Pluckley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Historic houses near Pluckley include Godinton House (3.6 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

Wherever your party is in TN27, we can bring the roaster to you.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evening parties in Pluckley need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.

Pluckley: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Why choose a hog roast in Pluckley?

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
