Hog roast hire in Teynham Street, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for christmas fairs and club events and presentations.
In a hamlet or village like Teynham Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

FAQs for Teynham Street
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Teynham Street close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
