Slow-roasted pork in Daniel's Water
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. 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 book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote

Hog roast hire in Daniel's Water, carved to order
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater parties at home and community events.
Somewhere as small as Daniel's Water, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Travel to Daniel's Water
- How easy it is to reach the spot
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

A hog roast in Daniel's Water: local details
Daniel's Water is about 3 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Daniel's Water and the surrounding area. Daniel's Water is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Daniel's Water to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
A green space like Ashford Community Woodland is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Nearby historic houses include Godinton House (2 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Daniel's Water, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
Wherever your event is in TN26, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Other places close to Daniel's Water we cover include Fleeden (1 mile south), Chilmington Green (1 mile south-east), Great Chart (1 mile east), Godinton (2 miles north-east) and Hothfield (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (15 miles north-west), Ashford (3 miles east), Sittingbourne (14 miles north), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (13 miles east) and Davington (13 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find County Square (3.1 miles east) and Romden Castle (3.9 miles west). Open spaces near Daniel's Water include Orlestone Forest.
Daniel's Water questions
Is Daniel's Water too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Daniel's Water from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Daniel's Water, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
