Hog roast hire for Crockham Hill
Hog roast hire in Crockham Hill, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve halloumi skewers, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and christmas fairs.
In a rural place like Crockham Hill, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Questions from Crockham Hill
What’s the nearest station to Crockham Hill?
Edenbridge station, about 1.9 miles south of the centre.
Is Crockham Hill close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What affects the price in Crockham Hill
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Why choose a hog roast in Crockham Hill?

Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Light matters for a long roast: in Crockham Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
