Hog roast hire for your event in Longfield
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Longfield. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Typical bookings include christmas parties and gatherings after a funeral, with new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls.
In a rural place like Longfield, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
