About hog roast hire in CT17
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in CT17. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and corporate events, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and coleslaw.
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Cost
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Hog roast catering in CT17: local guide
There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in CT17, so the setting can be anything from Dover, Tower Hamlets and Charlton-in-Dover to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. 8 of the places we cover in CT17 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Dover: After a service at Parish Church of St Andrew Buckland, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Coming by train? The nearest station is Dover Priory station, about 0.9 miles south. Evenings in Dover stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
