How hog roast hire works in CT14
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in CT14. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We serve coleslaw, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for clubhouse events and milestone birthdays.
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
What you will pay
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Planning a hog roast in CT14
CT14 covers everything from Dover, Deal and Walmer to 16 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 21 of the places we cover in CT14 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Deal: For a fundraiser at a school like Castle Community College, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Within reach of Deal are historic houses such as Walmer Castle (1.2 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Around midsummer it stays light in Deal until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which normally keeps the cost down.
What your quote should include
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- What crockery is supplied
- How dietary needs are handled
- Who carves and who serves
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Parking near the spot
