Hog roast hire in Queenborough
Hog roast hire in Queenborough, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it’s village fêtes and school fairs and clubhouse events, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your guests.
For a place the size of Queenborough, your own garden is frequently the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Questions from Queenborough
How far is Queenborough from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Trinity?
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.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Queenborough hosts choose us

- A clear quote with everything listed

- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our pricing or the cost guide.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Queenborough, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
