Hog roast hire for your event in Four Oaks
In Four Oaks, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We’re frequently asked to cater milestone birthdays and christmas parties, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw.
In a hamlet or village like Four Oaks, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Four Oaks questions
How far is Four Oaks from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is all of Kent covered?
All of Kent is in our area. Send us the address and we will quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
