We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and community events.
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.

Planning a hog roast in DA8
Across DA8, we cover 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Erith, Belvedere and Northumberland Heath to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Erith: A green space like Wildspace Conservation Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Christ Church (Erith) CofE Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Around midsummer it stays light in Erith until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it.

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What affects the price in DA8
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
