Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site

Party hog roast near Sittingbourne
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. For neighbourhood parties and naming ceremonies, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling and more.
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Sittingbourne often happen at home or in a local hall. Either works, given an outdoor spot to cook. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, it is light in Sittingbourne until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Questions from Sittingbourne

About 37 miles from central London.
Will there be enough to go round?

We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
