How hog roast hire works in BR8
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and shows and corporate events.
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Planning a hog roast in BR8
From Swanley, Hextable and Crockenhill to 5 villages and hamlets, bookings across BR8 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Swanley: If guests are travelling by rail, Swanley has its own station, Swanley station. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Light matters for a long roast: around Swanley, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.

BR8: your questions answered
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater in BR8?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
