Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.

Common questions in Wittersham
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Wittersham close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What space does the roaster 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 check it with you before booking.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you come to Wittersham?
Yes, Wittersham is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Hosting a hog roast party in Wittersham
Wittersham is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Wittersham is well within our area for parties and the places nearby. We cater all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Wittersham to Canterbury (24 miles away).
Within reach of Wittersham are historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (1.6 miles north) and Lamb House (4.7 miles south). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. For party guests on the train, the nearest station is Rye station, about 4.5 miles south. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Your party could be at a house on The Street, Poplar Road and Swan Cottages, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For an evening party in Wittersham, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
