Party hog roast in Queen Street, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it’s engagement parties and close and cul-de-sac parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes and more.
In a small place like Queen Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Common questions in Queen Street
Is Queen Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Queen Street?
Paddock Wood station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Evening parties in Queen Street need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
