Planning a hog roast in Wingham
Wingham is about 6 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. We cover Wingham and its neighbours for events. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Wingham to Canterbury (6 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Wingham Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Coming by train? Adisham station, about 2.3 miles south, is the nearest station.
For events in CT3, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean an event in a garden on High Street, St Mary's Meadow and Harris's Alley or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Close by, we cover events in Broomhill (1 mile north), Well Head (1 mile south-east), Wingham Green (1 mile west), Wingham Well (1 mile south-west) and Shatterling (1 mile north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (6 miles west), Margate (10 miles north-east), Dover (10 miles south), Folkestone (13 miles south), Ramsgate (10 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (11 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include St Martins Hospital (4.7 miles west).
- Local pubs include The Red Lion pub (less than half a mile south-west)
Hog roast hire for your event in Wingham
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Wingham: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Whether it’s christmas parties and wakes and memorial gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, coleslaw and new potatoes and more.
In a hamlet or village like Wingham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Wingham: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Wingham?
Adisham station, about 2.3 miles south of the centre.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent is in our area. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
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 we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Wingham. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Wingham, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Ask for a quote
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CT3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Events we cater in Wingham

In Wingham and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:
- Weddings, day or evening

What your quote should include
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Who carves and who serves
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Hog roast rolls

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
