Hog roast hire for your event in Crowhurst
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Crowhurst. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We are often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and summer garden parties, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a rural place like Crowhurst, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late September evenings in Crowhurst lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.

Preparing for the day

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why choose a hog roast in Crowhurst?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Your questions about a hog roast in Crowhurst
Can you cater after a service at Church of St George?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Crowhurst close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
