Hog roast hire in Mowshurst, slow-roasted on site
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it is weddings and receptions and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Mowshurst, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Mowshurst, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Mowshurst questions
What’s the nearest station to Mowshurst?
Edenbridge station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues 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 you cover the whole of Kent?
We cover Kent and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

Other occasions in Mowshurst
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Mowshurst?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
