Rhodes Minnis parties: what to know
Rhodes Minnis is about 5 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. We cater parties across Rhodes Minnis and nearby. We bring hog roasts to 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Rhodes Minnis to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
Within reach of Rhodes Minnis are historic houses such as Acrise Place (2.6 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (4 miles south-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Rhodes Minnis is within about 2 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Wherever your party is in CT4, we can bring the roaster to you. From Longage Hill and Green Lane or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Nearby, we also cater parties in Woodland (1 mile south-west), Ottinge (1 mile east), Hemsted (1 mile south-west), Lyminge (1 mile south-east) and Skeete (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (9 miles west), Canterbury (9 miles north), Dover (10 miles east), Folkestone (6 miles south-east), Whitstable (14 miles north) and Deal (15 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Royal Victoria Hospital (5.8 miles south-east) and Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (3.7 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Tolsford Hill.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Parking close to the house
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
The process
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. By late September, sunset in Rhodes Minnis is about 7:00pm; by December it is about 3:50pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
