A hog roast across TN2: what to know
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in TN2, so the setting can be anything from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Southborough and Broadwater Down to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Royal Tunbridge Wells: Historic houses near Royal Tunbridge Wells include Groombridge Place (3.6 miles west) and Penshurst Place (4.5 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. A green space like Hilbert Woods is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Royal Tunbridge Wells, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.
What your quote should include
- Whether travel is included
- Whether plates or china are included
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Allergen information for every dish
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
