Hog roast hire in Finberry, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s weddings and receptions and christmas parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and coleslaw and more.
In a rural place like Finberry, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Events we cater in Finberry
A hog roast is memorable. It’s food and a bit of theatre at the same time.
People around Finberry book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Work summer parties
- Weddings and receptions
- Wakes
- Birthdays and anniversaries
A green space like Ashford Green Corridors is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, if it applies
- Plates, china and cutlery
- Travel and any London charges
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late September evenings in Finberry lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is 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.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.
Common questions in Finberry
Could you cook in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Finberry from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Is crackling included?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
