Slow-roasted pork in Balls Green
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Hog roast hire for your event in Balls Green
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for work summer parties and wakes and memorial gatherings.
In a rural place like Balls Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Common questions in Balls Green
What’s the nearest station to Balls Green?
Ashurst Kent station, about 1.7 miles north of the centre.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Do you cover Balls Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Balls Green and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

What your quote should include
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By late September, sunset in Balls Green is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
