Hog roast hire in Mott's Mill, slow-roasted on site
People book a hog roast in Mott's Mill for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. On the menu are crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for garden parties and barbecues and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Mott's Mill, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

- Access to the cooking area

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
FAQs for Mott's Mill
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Thomas the Apostle: can you cater?
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’ll gather.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater in Mott's Mill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Mott's Mill and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Planning an evening hog roast in Mott's Mill?
