Hog roast hire across ME12
In ME12, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas fairs, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and salads.
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Hog roast hire across ME12
Across ME12, we cover 3 towns and 5 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Minster, Sheerness and Halfway Houses or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Minster: PTAs at schools such as Thistle Hill Academy frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like The Abbey Church Of St Mary And St Sexburga, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Light matters for a long roast: around Minster, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two.
Comparing caterers
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- How dietary needs are handled
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether plates or china are included
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
