Hog roast hire in Tudeley, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We are often asked to cater christmas parties and gatherings after a funeral, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and salads.
Somewhere as small as Tudeley, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
What affects the price in Tudeley
The biggest factors are:

- Plates or china

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our hog roast in Tudeley
- A choice of salads and potatoes

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Parking near the spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Your questions about a hog roast in Tudeley
Is Tudeley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Tudeley?
Tonbridge station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Around midsummer it stays light in Tudeley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
