The coast is within about 2 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Lunchtime bookings in Pegwell are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and usually better value. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls

FAQs for Pegwell
Is Pegwell too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will plan around them.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
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.
