Hog roast hire for Hunton
A hog roast in Hunton: local details
Hunton is about 4 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. A hog roast suits events around Hunton, whatever the venue. Hunton is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 27 miles away.
Parks such as Quarry Wood normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Yalding station, roughly 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Events anywhere in ME15 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Streets in the area include West Street, Bensted Close and Bishop's Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For events just outside Hunton, we cover Benover (1 mile west), Yalding (1 mile north-west), Congelow (1 mile west), Chainhurst (1 mile south-east) and Laddingford (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (4 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (13 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (15 miles north) and Tonbridge (8 miles west).
A little further out are Teapot Island (1.8 miles west) and Oakwood Hospital (3.7 miles north).
Hog roast hire in Hunton, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it’s weddings, day or evening and festive gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw for your guests.
For a rural spot like Hunton, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What affects the price in Hunton
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Light matters for a long roast: in Hunton, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
