About hog roast hire in CT16
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and staff days and open days.
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- If the price includes VAT
- The space, cover and access they need
- Any travel or access charges
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
CT16 questions
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cover Kent and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we will quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What meats can we have?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
