Hog roast hire in Eridge Green, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Eridge Green: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it is birthdays and anniversaries and festive gatherings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes and more.
Somewhere as small as Eridge Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Why choose a hog roast in Eridge Green?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Take a look at our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Eridge Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
