How our hog roast hire works in Langton Green
People book a hog roast in Langton Green for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include corporate events and club events and presentations, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
A place like Langton Green often has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re 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 will keep everyone in the loop.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Langton Green hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef

Questions from Langton Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
