Hog roast hire for Teasley Mead
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Teasley Mead, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Hog roast hire in Teasley Mead, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
In a small place like Teasley Mead, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?

What’s the nearest station to Teasley Mead?
Ashurst Kent station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cater in Teasley Mead?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Teasley Mead and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
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. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
