About our hog roast hire in Keynor Estate
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. We’re often asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and parties at home, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Somewhere like Keynor Estate, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Planning an evening hog roast in Keynor Estate? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Keynor Estate questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Keynor Estate close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Keynor Estate hosts choose us
