About hog roast hire in DA9
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in DA9, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and garden parties and barbecues.
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Swanscombe: Thinking of a hog roast in Castle Hill Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. PTAs at schools such as Knockhall Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Around midsummer it stays light in Swanscombe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Common questions in DA9
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
