About hog roast hire in DA13

A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in DA13: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wakes and work summer parties.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
  4. We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
  5. We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

A hog roast across DA13: what to know

Across DA13, we cover 3 towns and 19 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Dartford, Painters Ash and New Barn or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.

Meopham: Coming by train? The nearest station is Meopham station, about 0.5 miles north. PTAs at schools such as Meopham Community Academy often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. In Meopham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, 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.

Planning the cooking spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
  • Access for our equipment, without steps
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

What we serve, dish by dish

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Full catering or machine hire?

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Your questions about a hog roast in DA13

Where does the hog roast go?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Do you cook it or do we?

Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.

Do we need to provide electricity?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What happens after service?

Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

What do people get?

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Who serves?

We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

  • Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
