Hog roast hire in Frant
How our hog roast hire works in Frant
In Frant, 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. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and club events and presentations.
In a hamlet or village like Frant, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

FAQs for Frant
What’s the nearest station to Frant?
The closest is Frant station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Planning an evening hog roast in Frant?

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Planning a hog roast in Frant
Frant is about 3 miles south of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. We cater events at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Frant and the surrounding area. Frant is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Frant to Brighton (25 miles away).
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Frant Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Churches such as The Parish Church of St Alban rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Frant, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
Wherever your event is in TN3, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include High Street, The Green and Warren Ridge; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater events in The Platt (1 mile south), Eridge Green (2 miles west), Mark Cross (2 miles south), Town Row (4 miles south-west) and Tidebrook (4 miles south).

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
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.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
