Our hog roast service in Folkestone
Folkestone is a seaside town that has reinvented itself. The Leas clifftop promenade and the harbour still give it its shape, but the restored harbour arm, the Creative Quarter's galleries and studios, and a growing arts scene have brought a new crowd. The Channel Tunnel terminal is just outside town, the M20 finishes here, and the Kent Downs rise sharply behind it.
We bring hog roast, lamb and BBQ catering to Folkestone, Hythe, Sandgate and the villages inland. Everything is cooked on site and served by our team, with sides and sauces included and the clearing up done before we leave.
We cater across Folkestone as part of our hog roast catering in Kent. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Folkestone
Summer events here often have a view of the sea: garden parties in houses on the West End and Sandgate, community events near the harbour, and informal gatherings for arts and creative groups. Inland, the villages along the Downs and the Elham valley have farmland, barns and cricket fields for weddings and bigger parties.
The wind off the Channel can be strong on exposed clifftop and seafront sites, so we plan sheltered positions for the cooking and serving areas and bring suitable cover.
- clifftop and seafront gardens in the West End and Sandgate

BBQ catering in Folkestone
Our BBQ catering in Folkestone runs on the same principle as the hog roast — cooked fresh in front of your guests, with none of the work landing on the host. Expect burgers, sausages, chicken and proper veggie options, plus salads, fries and every sauce you'd want.
A BBQ fits Folkestone's summer parties well: burgers, chicken and halloumi straight off the grill, with fries and salads, for guests who want to eat and get back to the sunshine.

Events we cater in Folkestone
Wedding hog roasts
Folkestone weddings tend to be relaxed and creative, sometimes in a marquee on farmland inland or in a garden overlooking the sea. A hog roast as the main meal suits that informal style, with plenty of salads and a separate vegetarian option for those who need it.

Local businesses, creative organisations and logistics firms linked to the tunnel and the M20 book staff barbecues and summer lunches. We'll fit around your service window and work with your site team on access.
Corporate hog roast and BBQ cateringBirthday & private parties
For a birthday on the West End or a family gathering in Hythe, we'll plan around the practical things: parking on busy summer streets, carrying equipment through, and staying out of the wind.

Pork hog roast
Nothing is carved in advance and left to sit. The pig goes on hours before service, fills the air with the smell of roasting pork, and is carved fresh for every guest with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce.
Sample hog roast menuLamb roast
Spit-roasted whole lamb, seasoned with garlic and rosemary and carved to order. It's served with mint sauce, warm flatbreads and fresh salads — ideal when some guests don't eat pork.
Spit-roast lambBBQ options
Grill favourites cooked to order: burgers, sausages, chicken thighs, halloumi skewers and vegan sausages, all served with rolls and a full sauce line-up.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Folkestone events pick two to four sides. Summer menus lean towards coleslaw, leaf salads, tomatoes and potato salad; evening and winter events tend to want fries, sweet potato fries or new potatoes. We bring the breads, rolls and sauces too.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Every menu includes real vegetarian and vegan mains — halloumi, vegetable skewers, veggie burgers or plant-based sausages — cooked separately when requested and served from a labelled area. Tell us about allergies and other requirements when you enquire and we'll plan around them; our food is prepared where common allergens are handled, so we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free.
