About our hog roast hire in Dunbridge
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve coleslaw, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and christmas parties.
Somewhere as small as Dunbridge, 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 bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Questions from Dunbridge
What’s the nearest station to Dunbridge?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, in Dunbridge itself.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you cover Dunbridge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Dunbridge and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
All of Hampshire is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which typically keeps the cost down. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
