About our hog roast hire in Seabrook
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Seabrook. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. Whether it’s work summer parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and salads and more.
In a rural place like Seabrook, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Evenings in Seabrook stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us a contact number for the day

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to 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.

Your questions about a hog roast in Seabrook
Could you cook in Oaklands Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Seabrook Church?
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.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you travel across Kent?
All of Kent is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.

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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
