Planning a hog roast in ME15
There are 3 towns and 11 villages and hamlets in ME15, so the setting can be anything from Maidstone, Foley Park and Bearsted to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across ME15, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Maidstone: Within reach of Maidstone are historic houses such as Stoneacre (2.4 miles south-east) and Leeds Castle (4.6 miles east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like South Borough Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Planning an evening hog roast in Maidstone? Sunset is around 8:50pm 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.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast compared with other options
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.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who carves and who serves
- Allergen information for every dish
- Travel and any London charges
- A clear list of what’s included

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Your questions about a hog roast in ME15
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you travel across Kent?
We cover Kent and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
