Hog roast hire in Borough Green
About our hog roast hire in Borough Green
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s wakes and summer garden parties, we can cook coleslaw, halloumi skewers and new potatoes and more.
In a smaller place like Borough Green, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How it works

Evenings in Borough Green stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Borough Green hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What we serve, dish by dish

Your questions about a hog roast in Borough Green
We’re gathering after a service at The Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Borough Green from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
