Hog roast hire for your event in Sutton
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and clubhouse events.
In a rural place like Sutton, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Where the roaster can go in Sutton
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Parking near the spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Sutton, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.

A hog roast in Sutton: local details

Coming by train? Martin Mill station, about 1.7 miles south, is the nearest station. Among the historic houses close to Sutton are Walmer Castle (2.6 miles east).

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
