Hog roast hire in Hazel Street
How our hog roast hire works in Hazel Street
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for christmas parties and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere as small as Hazel Street, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Around midsummer it stays light in Hazel Street until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Your questions about a hog roast in Hazel Street
Do you come out to small places like Hazel Street?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you travel across Kent?
Kent is part of our area, including Hazel Street. Ask for a quote.
Do you come to Hazel Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hazel Street and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Events we cater in Hazel Street

Hosts in Hazel Street book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Parties at home
- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Wakes
Churches such as Church of St Margaret rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does.
What your quote should include
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- How dietary needs are handled
- What the price includes, item by item
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- All the equipment comes with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A choice of salads and potatoes
