Hog roast hire in Speldhurst, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. On the menu are salads, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for parties at home and corporate events.
In a hamlet or village like Speldhurst, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
