- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Party hog roast near Tyler Hill
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Typical bookings include ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and engagement celebrations, serving rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and crackling.
A country party near Tyler Hill is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Planning a party in Tyler Hill
Tyler Hill is about 2 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Tyler Hill, from gardens to fields. Tyler Hill is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
For party guests on the train, Canterbury West station, about 1.6 miles south, is the nearest station. If you had Tyler Hill Meadow in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.
Parties anywhere in CT2 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Your party could be at a house on St Johns Crescent, Link Road and Summer Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. For parties just outside Tyler Hill, we cover Hackington (1 mile south-east), Blean (1 mile west), Honey Hill (2 miles west), Radfall (2 miles north) and Denstroude (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (15 miles south-west), Margate (15 miles east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles west), Ramsgate (15 miles east) and Whitstable (3 miles north-west).

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Questions from Tyler Hill
Can you roast near the sea around Tyler Hill?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Cosmus and St Damian: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
