Planning a party in Tunstall
Tunstall is about 1 mile south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We take a hog roast for your party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Tunstall. Tunstall is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Tunstall to Canterbury (16 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, Sittingbourne station is about 1.4 miles away. A green space like Cromers Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Tunstall is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Party hog roast in Tunstall, 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. For summer parties in the garden and neighbourhood parties, we’ll put together a menu of jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Tunstall, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Tunstall, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

FAQs for Tunstall
Which station is closest to Tunstall?
Sittingbourne station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you cover Tunstall?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Tunstall and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
