Hog roast hire for Blue Town
Hog roast hire in Blue Town, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and big birthdays and anniversaries.
For a place the size of Blue Town, your own garden is frequently the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Occasions we serve in Blue Town
People remember a hog roast. It is food and a bit of theatre at the same time.
Whatever the occasion in Blue Town, a slow roast goes a long way. We’re frequently asked to cater:
- Clubhouse events
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Weddings, day or evening
- Christmas parties
If you had Barton's Point Coastal Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Blue Town is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot

Blue Town: your questions answered
Is Blue Town close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Why choose a hog roast in Blue Town?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
