Planning an event in Fawkham Green?
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Hog roast hire for your event in Fawkham Green
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include christmas parties and club events and presentations, with spit-roast lamb, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Fawkham Green, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
