About our party hog roast in Wrotham Heath
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. We’re often asked to cater anniversary parties and christenings and naming days, serving a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Country parties near Wrotham Heath suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Questions from Wrotham Heath
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Other occasions in Wrotham Heath
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Wrotham Heath is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
