About our party hog roast in Ramsgate
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. We are often asked to cater big birthday parties and retirement celebrations, serving crackling, apple sauce and coleslaw.
Garden parties are a favourite in Ramsgate, and a hall or club works if the garden is small. All we need is a level spot with clearance. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What affects the price in Ramsgate

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Sunset in Ramsgate is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.

FAQs for Ramsgate
Can you cater after a service at St. Luke's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Ramsgate?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
