Hog roast hire in Bredgar, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve crackling, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and summer garden parties.
Somewhere as small as Bredgar, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

Questions from Bredgar
Is Bredgar too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Bredgar?
The closest is Sittingbourne station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evenings in Bredgar stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests
