A hog roast near Wrotham
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evenings in Wrotham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.

Hog roast hire for your event in Wrotham
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own.

In a small place like Wrotham, a hog roast often 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. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast in Wrotham
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Common questions in Wrotham
Could you cook in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
