Areas we cover
Hog roast hire across CT4
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. On the menu are salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for work summer parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- 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 clear the serving area and pack away.
Pricing in CT4
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved to order by a chef
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
How to get a price
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.

Hog roast catering in CT4: local guide
From Canterbury, Shalmsford Street and Bridge to 46 villages and hamlets, bookings across CT4 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Parts of CT4 are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. Around 3 places in CT4 are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Shalmsford Street: Thinking of a hog roast in Broadham Down? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. PTAs at schools such as Chartham Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evenings in Shalmsford Street stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down.
Questions to ask before you book
- Travel and any London charges
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
