Hog roast hire for your event in Wingham Well
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Wingham Well: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and corporate events, with halloumi skewers, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Wingham Well, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late September evenings in Wingham Well lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Wingham Well questions
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Wingham Well?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you travel across Kent?
We cover Kent and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we will quote.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
