About our hog roast hire in Palm Bay
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater work summer parties and wakes and memorial gatherings.
In a rural place like Palm Bay, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

FAQs for Palm Bay
Is Palm Bay close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at St Philip: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
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.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
