About our hog roast hire in Rotherfield
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is christmas parties and sports clubs and societies, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and salads and more.
In a small place like Rotherfield, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Questions from Rotherfield
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Denys?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Rotherfield lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
