Hog roast hire for Perrywood
Hog roast hire in Perrywood, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Perrywood. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are frequently booked for parties at home and village fêtes and school fairs.
In a rural place like Perrywood, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Perrywood until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Perrywood: your questions answered
Is Perrywood too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat

To get a quote, just 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. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
