Hog roast hire in Guilton, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and new potatoes, and we are often booked for work summer parties and community events.
In a small place like Guilton, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Sides to make it a full meal

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:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Guilton until about 9:15pm; 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.

Is Guilton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
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 cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
