About our hog roast hire in Bodle Street Green

Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Whether it is community events and weddings and receptions, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads and more.

Somewhere as small as Bodle Street Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. 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 Bodle Street Green

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

How far is Bodle Street Green from London?

About 45 miles from central London.

When do you start roasting?

Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

What do you need from us on the day?

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

What happens when we hire a hog roast?

We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

Is crockery included?

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Step by step

Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late September evenings in Bodle Street Green lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

  1. First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
  3. We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
  4. Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
  5. We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day
  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival

What a hog roast costs

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

  • Whether you want china
  • Numbers
  • Which meats and sides you choose
  • The serving time and how long we’re on site

A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:

  • Any venue rules
  • Where the event is
  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • Any dietary needs or allergies

When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Catered or do it yourself?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
