About our hog roast hire in Horns Green

For a rural spot like Horns Green, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Horns Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Horns Green?
Knockholt station, about 3.4 miles north-east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you travel across Kent?
All of Kent is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Horns Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
