A hog roast near Seabrook
About our party hog roast in Seabrook
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for getting-engaged parties and naming ceremonies.
A country party near Seabrook is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Hosting a hog roast party in Seabrook
Seabrook is about 2 miles east of Hythe, in Kent. We’re happy to travel to Seabrook for parties. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Seabrook to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
After a christening at a church like Seabrook Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Within reach of Seabrook are historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (4 miles west) and Acrise Place (4.4 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Seabrook, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Parties anywhere in CT21 and CT20 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster.

FAQs for Seabrook
How far is Seabrook from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Seabrook Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
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.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.

What comes off the roaster

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
