About hog roast hire in CT2

We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for wakes and parties at home.

We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change.

You share the when, where and how many.
We check the space and quote.

Prices in CT2

The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Landmarks near Sturry

Bookings here are frequently close to The Swan Inn, Spires Academy and Chequer's Wood and Old Park. Other local landmarks include Sturry Church of England Primary School (less than half a mile north-east), St Nicholas' Church (0.5 miles south) and Frank Montgomery School (1.2 miles east). There’s a railway station in Sturry itself: Sturry station, handy for guests travelling by train.

A hog roast across CT2: what to know

There are 3 towns and 11 villages and hamlets in CT2, so the setting can be anything from Canterbury, Wincheap and Sturry to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Around 13 places in CT2 are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Sturry: Churches such as St Nicholas' Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. If you had Chequer's Wood and Old Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. In Sturry, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Collect allergies with your RSVPs

We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:

A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Parking near the spot
Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

The menu, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Roast pork

We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
