Our hog roast service in Sevenoaks
Sevenoaks is a well-heeled commuter town on the greensand ridge, with Knole's deer park running right up to the edge of town and the M25 and M26 meeting just to the north. Big gardens are the norm rather than the exception here, and the countryside starts almost as soon as you leave the High Street.
Most of what we do in Sevenoaks is private and social: garden parties, big birthdays, school and club events, and weddings in the surrounding villages. We bring the roast, the counter, the sides and the staff, cook everything on site and carve to order, so the host can spend the afternoon with their guests instead of running the kitchen.
We cater across Sevenoaks as part of our hog roast catering in Kent. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering page.
Where we cater in Sevenoaks
Villages carry a lot of the diary. Otford, Kemsing and Shoreham sit in the Darent valley to the north, Seal and Ightham are to the east, and Ide Hill and Sevenoaks Weald look out over the Weald to the south. Cricket runs deep in the area (the Vine ground in town is one of the oldest in the country), so club days, end-of-season suppers and charity matches come up every summer.
Driveways here are usually generous, but lanes around the villages can be narrow and steep, and some of the larger gardens are on a slope. We'll ask about gradients, gates and where we can park before the day.
- large private gardens in Sevenoaks and Riverhead
- cricket and sports clubs in town and the surrounding villages

BBQ catering in Sevenoaks
A BBQ gives guests something a hog roast can't: choice. We run commercial grills in Sevenoaks for work events, family parties and club days, cooking burgers, sausages, marinated chicken, halloumi and plant-based options as the queue moves.

Events we cater in Sevenoaks
Wedding hog roasts
Sevenoaks couples tend to marry in the countryside nearby: a barn south of the ridge, a marquee in a family paddock, or a village church followed by a reception in a field. We'll cater the main meal buffet-style or keep things to evening pork rolls, and plenty of weddings here have us do both.
Catering for weddingsCorporate events
Sevenoaks isn't a big office town, but local firms, schools and professional practices do book summer lunches and end-of-term parties. We also cater team days for London-based companies that hire a country venue nearby, where a BBQ alongside the roast keeps a hungry group moving.
Corporate BBQ cateringBirthday & private parties
A 50th in a Sevenoaks garden, a family christening or a street party in Riverhead: this is the kind of event we're booked for most here. One roast feeds a crowd generously, and the leftovers usually go home with the host.

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.
Sample hog roast menuLamb roast
Lamb works as the only roast or alongside pork. We carve it at the counter and serve it with mint sauce, herby salads and breads — a popular choice for summer weddings.
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
The sides make the meal. Choose from homemade coleslaw, mixed leaf salad, tomato and red onion salad, potato salad and pasta salad, plus fries, sweet potato fries or buttered new potatoes cooked on site. Fresh rolls, breads and a proper sauce table come as standard.
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 Sevenoaks
Do you cater in the villages around Sevenoaks, such as Otford and Ide Hill?
Yes. We regularly cater in the villages around the town, including Otford, Kemsing, Seal, Ightham, Ide Hill and Sevenoaks Weald. Some lanes are narrow, so let us know if access is tight and we'll plan the unload.
Can you cater a cricket club event near Sevenoaks?
Definitely. Cricket teas, end-of-season suppers and charity matches are a good fit for a hog roast or BBQ. We usually set up beside the pavilion and serve from the counter so players and spectators can come and go.
Our garden is on a slope. Is that a problem?
Not usually. We need a reasonably level spot for the roaster and counter, which is often the drive, a terrace or the flattest part of the lawn. Send a photo or two when you enquire and we'll suggest the best place.
What do you need from us on the day?
A reasonably level area for our equipment, a route we can wheel it along, and somewhere to park nearby. We'll ask about access, gates and venue rules when you enquire — our outdoor catering checklist covers the rest.
