About our hog roast hire in Farleigh Green
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. For christmas fairs and birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook halloumi skewers, coleslaw and new potatoes for your guests.
In a rural place like Farleigh Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By late September, sunset in Farleigh Green is around 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Questions from Farleigh Green
Is Farleigh Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
