Hog roast hire in Fleeden, slow-roasted on site
In Fleeden, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We are frequently asked to cater sports clubs and societies and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Fleeden, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Light matters for a long roast: in Fleeden, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Fleeden hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Sides to make it a full meal

Bringing a hog roast to Fleeden

If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Pluckley station, roughly 2.8 miles north-west of the centre. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Fleeden, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

FAQs for Fleeden
Can you do a hog roast in Ashford Community Woodland?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Fleeden too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
