Hog roast hire in Kings Hill, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in Kings Hill. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. We’re often asked to cater weddings, day or evening and village fêtes and school fairs, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.
In a smaller place like Kings Hill, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
For event organisers in Kings Hill
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Kings Hill, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
