Our hog roast service in Maidstone
Maidstone is Kent's county town, straddling the Medway with the North Downs rising behind it and the M20 and M2 both within easy reach. It's home to the county council, a lot of offices and business parks, and a large population spread through suburbs and villages that fade quickly into orchards and farmland.
All that makes it one of our busiest Kent towns. We cook hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs on site, carve and serve from our counter, and bring all the sides, so whether it's 60 people in a garden or several hundred on a business-park lawn, the food arrives hot and freshly carved.
We cater across Maidstone 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 Maidstone
Weekdays in summer are mostly corporate: company days, staff barbecues and site open days for employers in the town centre, around the M20 junctions and on the industrial estates. Weekends bring weddings on farms and estates in the countryside around Bearsted, Hollingbourne, Boughton Monchelsea and Linton, plus family parties in the suburbs and community events in and around Mote Park.
Maidstone's road network can be slow at peak times, so for weekday lunches we allow extra travel and set-up time. For rural venues we'll check the route in and whether a van and trailer can get close to the serving area.

BBQ catering in Maidstone
Our BBQ catering in Maidstone 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.
For a large staff day, a BBQ running next to the hog roast gives everyone a choice and keeps the queue short, with halloumi, veggie burgers and plant-based sausages cooked separately.

Events we cater in Maidstone
Wedding hog roasts
The countryside around Maidstone is full of barns, orchards and farmyards that couples hire for relaxed weddings. A hog roast suits that setting well: carved pork and lamb with a spread of salads as the main meal, and the evening crowd fed from the same roast later on.

Birthday party catering · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Maidstone 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.

Hog roast FAQs for Maidstone
Can you cater a large staff event at a business park near Maidstone?
Yes. We regularly cater workplace events on car parks, lawns and courtyards. For large headcounts we use two serving points to keep things moving, and we'll send the site team whatever they need, such as a risk assessment and insurance details.
Do you cater orchard and farm weddings around Maidstone?
We do. Rural venues often have long tracks or grass parking, so we'll ask how close we can get and plan for weather cover if the serving area is outdoors.
Can you cater an event at a village hall near Maidstone?
Yes. We normally cook outside the hall and serve from a counter indoors or just outside the door, which keeps cooking smells and heat out of the building. Let us know the hall's rules about cooking and we'll work within them.
Can guests with dietary requirements be catered for?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan mains are cooked separately on request and labelled, and allergen information is available for every dish. See our allergen and dietary information.
