How our party hog roast works in West Yoke
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. Typical bookings include ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and milestone birthdays, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like West Yoke, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Common questions in West Yoke
Is West Yoke close to London?
About 19 miles from central London.
Is West Yoke too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
How much room do you need?
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 will confirm the space with your quote.

What else we do in West Yoke
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast in West Yoke
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
See how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
West Yoke parties: what to know
West Yoke is about 5 miles south-west of Northfleet, in Kent. We cover West Yoke and its neighbours for parties. West Yoke is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 19 miles away.
Within reach of West Yoke are historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle (4.4 miles west) and Cobham College (4.7 miles east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of West Yoke, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Here we cover the TN15 postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Butler's Place, Ash Road and Manor Lane, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside West Yoke, we also cover Ash (1 mile south), Fawkham Green (1 mile west), Speed Gate (1 mile west), Stansted (2 miles south) and West Kingsdown (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (12 miles south-east), Dartford (6 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (7 miles south-west), Gravesend (6 miles north-east), Tonbridge (11 miles south) and Northfleet (5 miles north-east).
A little further out are Eynsford Castle (3.6 miles west) and Darent Valley Hospital (5.2 miles north).
- Nearby schools include Longfield Academy (2.3 miles north)
- Nearby, you’ll find The White Swan Public House (0.5 miles south)
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A spot well away from the house
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
