A hog roast near Newingreen
Hog roast hire in Newingreen, slow-roasted on site
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Newingreen, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it’s work summer parties and gatherings after a funeral, we will put together a menu of crackling, coleslaw and salads.
Somewhere as small as Newingreen, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Newingreen is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

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. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
See our pricing or the cost guide.
For event organisers in Newingreen
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Questions from Newingreen
We’re gathering after a service at Pedlinge Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Bringing a hog roast to Newingreen
Newingreen is about 2 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Thinking about a hog roast in Newingreen? We can help. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Westenhanger station, about 0.6 miles north. A green space like Sandling Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
