A hog roast across CT9: what to know

Across CT9, we cover 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Margate, Broadstairs and Northdown or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. 10 of the places we cover in CT9 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Margate: PTAs at schools such as Salmestone Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Margate, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Full catering or machine hire?

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

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

A hog roast or other catering?

Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

FAQs for CT9

Do you need power or water?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

What happens when we hire a hog roast?

We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

Do you serve the crackling?

Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.

Will there be enough to go round?

The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?

You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
