Hog roast hire in Bexley
Hog roast hire in Bexley, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. For community events and big birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Gardens in Bexley tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Light matters for a long roast: in Bexley, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.
