Hog roast hire in Green Street Green, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings, day or evening and wakes and memorial gatherings.
In a rural place like Green Street Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

What to look for in a quote
- The space, cover and access they need
- Any travel or access charges
- How dietary needs are handled
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Green Street Green: your questions answered
Could you cook in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Green Street Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cover Kent and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
