Slow-roasted pork in Stuppington
Hog roast hire in Stuppington, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and shows and weddings, day or evening, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and salads for your guests.
Somewhere like Stuppington, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Stuppington: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs 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 cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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 will gather.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cater across Kent, including Stuppington. Contact us for a price.

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Stuppington, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Stuppington hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
