Hog roast hire in Westerham
Hog roast hire in Westerham, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and village fêtes and school fairs, serving coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Around Westerham, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a picture helps us check. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Catered or do it yourself?

Common questions in Westerham
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly

- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
