How our hog roast hire works in Lyde Green
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it’s garden parties and barbecues and wakes, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads for your guests.
Somewhere like Lyde Green, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Lyde Green questions
We are gathering after a service at Rotherwick Church: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Lyde Green close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. By late September, sunset in Lyde Green is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
