Slow-roasted pork in Awbridge
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Awbridge, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
How to get a price

About our hog roast hire in Awbridge
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wakes and club events and presentations.
Somewhere as small as Awbridge, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which typically keeps the cost down. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Your questions about a hog roast in Awbridge
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Awbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
