Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Cover for your guests in bad weather

Your questions about a hog roast in Marsh Green
Which station is closest to Marsh Green?
The closest is Edenbridge Town station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Marsh Green Mission Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

For event organisers in Marsh Green
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
