Hog roast hire in CT15: what to expect
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We’re often asked to cater milestone birthdays and weddings, day or evening, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes.
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What you’ll pay
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Hog roast catering in CT15: local guide
Across CT15, we cover 3 towns and 35 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Dover, Tower Hamlets and Charlton-in-Dover or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. Around 34 places in CT15 are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
St Margaret's at Cliffe: Within reach of St Margaret's at Cliffe are historic houses such as Walmer Castle (3.5 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. PTAs at schools such as St Margaret's-at-Cliffe Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Around midsummer it stays light in St Margaret's at Cliffe 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.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Planners, venues and businesses

Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.

Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
