Hog roast hire for Cramhurst
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Cramhurst hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

How our hog roast hire works in Cramhurst
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We’re often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and summer garden parties, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere like Cramhurst, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
