About hog roast hire in CT11
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include garden parties and barbecues and christmas fairs, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Hog roast catering in CT11: local guide
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in CT11, so the setting can be anything from Ramsgate, St Lawrence and Newington to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings. Around 7 places in CT11 are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Ramsgate: Coming by train? Ramsgate station serves Ramsgate directly. For a fundraiser at a school like Priory Infant School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Ramsgate, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.

Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
