DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Party hog roast in Stowting, slow-roasted on site

Parties in Stowting: homes, halls and local tips
Stowting is about 5 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Stowting and the surrounding area are covered for parties. Stowting is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Stowting to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Historic houses near Stowting include Westenhanger Castle (3.2 miles south) and Acrise Place (4.2 miles east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. If you had Spong Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Stowting is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
Anywhere in TN25, we can roast on site for your guests. We can cater a party on streets such as Stowting Hill and Scot's Lane, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Stowting, we also cover Stowting Common (1 mile north), Hemsted (1 mile east), Skeete (1 mile south-east), Woodland (1 mile east) and Rhodes Minnis (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (7 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (11 miles east), Folkestone (7 miles south-east), Whitstable (15 miles north) and Faversham (14 miles north-west).
A little further out are William Harvey Hospital (5.3 miles west) and Saltwood Castle (4.6 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Hatch Park and Tolsford Hill.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
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.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Parking close to the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
