Hog roast hire in CT3: what to expect
In CT3, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for festive gatherings and parties at home.
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Near you in Aylesham

A hog roast across CT3: what to know
There are 3 towns and 51 villages and hamlets in CT3, so the setting can be anything from Canterbury, Aylesham and Ash to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Around 21 places in CT3 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Aylesham: For guests coming by train, there is a station right in Aylesham: Aylesham station. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (1.6 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. By late September, sunset in Aylesham is around 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.
