How our hog roast hire works in Northbourne
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Northbourne. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and evening food and corporate events, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Somewhere as small as Northbourne, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Common questions in Northbourne
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Augustine?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Northbourne close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Evenings in Northbourne stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
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.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
