How our hog roast hire works in Kiln Green
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Kiln Green, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include salads, new potatoes and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and birthdays and anniversaries.
In a hamlet or village like Kiln Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What affects the price in Kiln Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Your questions about a hog roast in Kiln Green
Can you cater after a service at Saint Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Kiln Green from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Occasions we serve in Kiln Green
For big gatherings in Kiln Green, a hog roast is hard to beat: one roast feeds a crowd, and the carving is part of the event.
However big or small the event in Kiln Green, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings often include:
- Corporate events
- Weddings and receptions
- Clubhouse events
- Wakes
Among the historic houses close to Kiln Green are Harleyford Manor (3.8 miles north) and Greenlands (4.9 miles north-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one.
What your quote should include
- Allergen information for every dish
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- Who carves and who serves
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Parking near the spot
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
