Hog roast hire across TN11
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day.
- 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.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
What you will pay
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book our hog roast
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Hog roast hire across TN11
Across TN11, we cover 3 towns and 26 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Tonbridge, Hadlow and Hilden Park or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Hadlow: PTAs at schools such as Hadlow Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (2.6 miles north) and Ightham Mote (3.6 miles north-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. By late September, sunset in Hadlow is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two.
What your quote should include
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- The full menu and the sides
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Plates, china and cutlery
How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
TN11: your questions answered
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you cover TN11?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
