How our hog roast hire works in Aperfield
People book a hog roast in Aperfield for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re frequently booked for Fêtes, fairs and shows and birthdays and anniversaries.
Around Aperfield, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a picture helps us check. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Aperfield
What if our house in Aperfield has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do you travel across Greater London?
All of Greater London is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
