About hog roast hire in BR4

The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in BR4, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and evening food and sports clubs and societies, with crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb.

A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
  4. On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Hog roast catering in BR4: local guide

BR4 covers everything from Beckenham, Hayes and West Wickham to 2 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.

Hayes: For a fundraiser at a school like Hawes Down Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. For anyone arriving by rail, Hayes (Kent) station is in Hayes itself. Late September evenings in Hayes lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Working with your venue

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Travel and any London charges
  • What crockery is supplied
  • Payment terms and cancellation policy

Occasions we serve in BR4

A hog roast is memorable. It is food and a bit of theatre at the same time.

Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:

  • Weddings and receptions
  • Parties at home
  • Sports clubs and societies
  • Wakes and memorial gatherings

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.

A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.

Your questions about a hog roast in BR4

Do you provide china?

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

What about coeliacs?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

Can you roast in the rain?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
