Party hog roast near Street End
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. Typical bookings include leaving and retirement do’s and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, serving rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and coleslaw.
Near Street End, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Street End
Is Street End too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Street End?
Canterbury East station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, it’s light in Street End until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.

Preparing for the day
