Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Our staff serve and clear

Questions from Swattenden
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Crane Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll plan around them.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater in Swattenden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Swattenden and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Looking after everyone
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
