Hog roast hire in Allhallows
Hog roast hire in Allhallows, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for gatherings after a funeral and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
In a hamlet or village like Allhallows, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Why choose a hog roast in Allhallows?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
What affects the price in Allhallows
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or ME3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Questions from Allhallows
Is Allhallows close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cover Allhallows?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Allhallows and the rest of Medway included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
