How our party hog roast works in Whitfield
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. For family reunions and garden parties, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and crackling.
Parties around Whitfield are often relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Whitfield, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Whitfield
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you cover Whitfield?
Yes, Whitfield is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
