Hog roast hire for Wingham Green
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Evenings in Wingham Green stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

About our hog roast hire in Wingham Green
People book a hog roast in Wingham Green for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days.
In a rural place like Wingham Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Wingham Green: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Wingham Green 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 included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
