Party venues around West Street
West Street is about 6 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We are happy to travel to West Street for parties. We cater all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
If you had Kiln Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Guests arriving by train should know that Lenham station, about 1.6 miles south-west, is the nearest station. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of West Street, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In West Street, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Where the roaster can go in West Street
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A heads-up for next door
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Salads

For event organisers in West Street

Questions from West Street
What’s the nearest station to West Street?
Lenham station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Kiln Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
