What else we do in Barham
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A named contact for the day
- Access through the site gates
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Barham: your questions answered
Is Barham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Barham close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds typically works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
