Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

How our hog roast hire works in West Yoke
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Whether it’s summer garden parties and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of salads, crackling and coleslaw and more.
In a small place like West Yoke, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for West Yoke
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why West Yoke hosts choose us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Timed around your day
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
