Hog roast hire for Warmlake
About our hog roast hire in Warmlake
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Warmlake, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and salads, and we’re frequently booked for club events and presentations and community events.
For a rural spot like Warmlake, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Warmlake, sunset is around 8:50pm 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.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.

How to prepare

Your questions about a hog roast in Warmlake
Is Warmlake too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you cover Warmlake?
Yes, Warmlake is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cater across Kent, including Warmlake. Get in touch for a price.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
