Hog roast hire across CT20

The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we are often booked for milestone birthdays and gatherings after a funeral.

We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.

It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Hog roast hire across CT20

From Folkestone, Cheriton and Sandgate to 3 villages and hamlets, bookings across CT20 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 5 of the places we cover in CT20 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Folkestone: Churches such as United Reformed Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. Historic houses near Folkestone include Acrise Place (3.9 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Planning an evening hog roast in Folkestone? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Why a hog roast works

For big gatherings in CT20, a hog roast is hard to beat: a whole hog goes a long way, and the carving gives people something to watch.

Here’s what people in CT20 most often book a hog roast for:

Big birthdays and anniversaries
Clubhouse events
Christmas parties
Community events

Space, access and the venue

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

Vehicle access close to the cooking area
A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

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.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled

Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
