Party hog roast in Stocks Green
Party hog roast in Stocks Green, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. We serve jacket potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and christenings and naming days.
Country parties near Stocks Green suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours.
Questions from Stocks Green
Which station is closest to Stocks Green?
Hildenborough station, in Stocks Green itself.
Do you come out to small places like Stocks Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A heads-up for next door
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A summer party in Stocks Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
What affects the price in Stocks Green
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
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.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
