Hog roast hire across TN23
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in TN23: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include community events and staff days and open days, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a 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.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Hog roast hire across TN23
There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in TN23, so whether your event is in Ashford, Stanhope and Godinton or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Ashford: For guests coming by train, Ashford International station serves Ashford directly. For a fundraiser at a school like Chilmington Green Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Around midsummer it stays light in Ashford until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, 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 we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

Common questions in TN23
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
