Party hog roast in Wierton
FAQs for Wierton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Wierton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you come to Wierton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Wierton and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How our party hog roast works in Wierton
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater christenings and naming days and garden parties.
In a small place like Wierton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. A summer party in Wierton stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.

- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive

Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Peter, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Within reach of Wierton are historic houses such as Stoneacre (2.5 miles north-east) and Leeds Castle (3.9 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Wierton is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
