A hog roast near Greenhithe
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Greenhithe
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Hog roast hire in Greenhithe, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Whether it is big birthdays and anniversaries and festive gatherings, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
A place like Greenhithe frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the spot
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event in Greenhithe. Around midsummer it stays light in Greenhithe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Common questions in Greenhithe
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Castle Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
