If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Party hog roast in Rodmersham Green, slow-roasted on site
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Rodmersham Green, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater leaving and retirement do’s and christenings.
In a small place like Rodmersham Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Rodmersham Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
