About hog roast hire in CT12
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in CT12, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs and sports clubs and societies.
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.
- 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.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

A hog roast across CT12: what to know

Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. Around 18 places in CT12 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Newington: Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (3.4 miles west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.

By late September, sunset in Newington is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Questions from CT12
Is all of Kent covered?
All of Kent is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
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.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
