About hog roast hire in ME18
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for parties at home and weddings, day or evening.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What it costs in ME18
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Hog roast catering in ME18: local guide
ME18 covers everything from Yalding, Wateringbury and Branbridges to 17 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Yalding: For guests coming by train, Yalding station is about 1 mile away. Thinking of a hog roast in Quarry Wood? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. In Yalding, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Is a hog roast right for you?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.
