Hog roast hire for Sevenscore
Hog roast hire in Sevenscore, carved to order
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Sevenscore, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Somewhere as small as Sevenscore, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Common questions in Sevenscore
Could you cook in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Sevenscore?
The closest is Thanet Parkway station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area

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. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- An itemised quote

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Why choose hog roast hire in Sevenscore?
Slow roasting cannot be faked: the meat is tender and the crackling crisp.

Parks such as Sandwich and Pegwell Bay usually need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late September evenings in Sevenscore lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
