Party hog roast for Throwley
Party hog roast in Throwley, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it’s street parties and naming ceremonies, we can cook jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Country parties near Throwley suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Planning a party in Throwley
Throwley is about 4 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. We bring a hog roast for your party to parties anywhere in Throwley, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Throwley is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Historic houses near Throwley include Belmont House and Gardens (0.6 miles north-west). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Throwley is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Throwley stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, 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.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
