How our party hog roast works in St Mary in the Marsh
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. Whether it is summer parties in the garden and family reunions, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
Country parties near St Mary in the Marsh suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in St Mary in the Marsh
How far is St Mary in the Marsh from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why St Mary in the Marsh hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
