Hog roast hire across ME9
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for wakes and weddings, day or evening.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Hog roast hire across ME9
From Sittingbourne, Rainham and Murston to 49 villages and hamlets, bookings across ME9 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Parts of ME9 are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Iwade: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of All Saints, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Kemsley station, roughly 1 mile south of the centre. Around midsummer it stays light in Iwade until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Parking near the spot
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
FAQs for ME9
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Do you travel across Kent?
We cover Kent and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
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.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
