Hog roast hire in Hollow Street, carved to order
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater parties at home and staff days and open days.
In a hamlet or village like Hollow Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Hollow Street questions
Do you come out to small places like Hollow Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Hollow Street?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come to Hollow Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hollow Street and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you travel across Kent?
We cater across Kent, including Hollow Street. Ask for a quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally 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.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
