Hog roast hire in Egerton, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for community events and garden parties and barbecues.
Somewhere as small as Egerton, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Perfect for your event in Egerton
There’s very little for you to organise: an outdoor cooking spot and a contact on the day. Everything else comes with us.

About the food

A hog roast in Egerton: local details
Egerton is about 7 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Egerton and the surrounding area. Egerton is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Egerton to Canterbury (16 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, Pluckley station is about 2.7 miles away. Churches such as Church of St James rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. Egerton is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
Here we cover the TN27 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Whether your event is on The Street, Stevens Close and New Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset in Egerton is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

Questions from Egerton
Is Egerton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Egerton?
Pluckley station, about 2.7 miles south of the centre.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
