Hog roast hire for Teynham
Hog roast hire in Teynham, carved to order
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and christmas parties.
For a place the size of Teynham, your own garden is often the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Your questions about a hog roast in Teynham
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Teynham close to London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Kent is part of our area, including Teynham. Contact us for a price.
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 cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Where does the hog roast go?
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.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Teynham, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your guests

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
