A hog roast across ME6: what to know

ME6 covers everything from Snodland, Holborough and Paddlesworth to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Snodland: Historic houses near Snodland include Starkey Castle (2.5 miles north) and Cobham College (4.5 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. After a service at Church of the New Jerusalem, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. In Snodland, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

A hog roast or other catering?

A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.

Comparing caterers

  • How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
  • When payments are due and what happens if plans change
  • VAT, if it applies

ME6: your questions answered

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Do we need a big space?

Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.

Will people get crackling?

Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
