Party hog roast for Pollhill
How our party hog roast works in Pollhill
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. For big family get-togethers and milestone birthdays, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling and more.
In a small place like Pollhill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Common questions in Pollhill
Can you cater after a service at Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Pollhill?
The closest is Harrietsham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
For event organisers in Pollhill
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled

Party venues around Pollhill
Pollhill is about 6 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Pollhill and the surrounding area. Pollhill is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 18 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and Stoneacre (3.8 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Thinking of a hog roast in Kiln Wood? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Pollhill is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Pollhill, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
Ask for a quote

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
