Hog roast hire across CT13
In CT13, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We’re often asked to cater corporate events and garden parties and barbecues, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and coleslaw.
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Prices in CT13
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
What your quote should include

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
