Our hog roast hire in TN17
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in TN17, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and christmas parties.
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.

Hog roast hire across TN17
There are 3 towns and 27 villages and hamlets in TN17, so the setting can be anything from Cranbrook, Goudhurst and Benenden to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Parts of TN17 are within a few miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Cranbrook: If you are gathering after a service at a church like Congregational Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Cranbrook School, can book a hog roast stall. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Cranbrook, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
What your quote should include
- How many staff will carve and serve
- A clear list of what’s included

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
