Hog roast hire for Kent Street
How our hog roast hire works in Kent Street
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and christmas fairs, with hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.
In a hamlet or village like Kent Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which normally keeps the cost down. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
