How our hog roast hire works in Kippington
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. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for big birthdays and anniversaries and sports clubs and societies.
In and around Kippington, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Why choose a hog roast in Kippington?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- An itemised quote
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Planned to your running order

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Kippington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access
- Name a contact for the day

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
