How hog roast hire works in BR2
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and sports clubs and societies.
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.

A hog roast across BR2: what to know
From Bromley, Chislehurst and Plaistow to 3 villages and hamlets, bookings across BR2 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Bromley: PTAs at schools such as St Mark's Church of England Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Within reach of Bromley are historic houses such as Bromley Palace (within half a mile east) and Eltham Palace (3.5 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. In Bromley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
For event organisers in BR2
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

BR2 questions
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
