Hog roast hire in Chislehurst, slow-roasted on site
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Chislehurst. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and shows and corporate events.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
See how we price and what a hog roast costs.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Chislehurst, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your guests

How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
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
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or BR7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
