Our hog roast hire in CT6

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. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.

From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in CT6.

What you’ll pay

Planning a hog roast in CT6

There are 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets in CT6, so whether your event is in Herne Bay, Greenhill and Beltinge or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. 16 of the places we cover in CT6 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Herne Bay: Parks such as Curtis Wood normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. PTAs at schools such as Herne Bay Junior School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evenings in Herne Bay stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

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

Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages

We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Working with your venue

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

Common questions in CT6

Do we need a big space?

Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.

Is there a non-pork option?

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.

What happens after service?

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

Can you roast in the rain?

We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

What do you need from us on the day?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Do we need to provide electricity?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
