DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.

FAQs for Clap Hill
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Clap Hill close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. If your staff event in Clap Hill runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:15pm in June, 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
- Get in touch with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
