A hog roast near Hothfield
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Hothfield questions
Which station is closest to Hothfield?
Charing station, about 2.9 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Hothfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
