Hog roast hire in TN24: what to expect
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in TN24, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and milestone birthdays, serving hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.
- First, you send us your date, address, 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 clear the serving area and pack away.

A hog roast across TN24: what to know
TN24 covers everything from Ashford, Kennington and Godinton to 3 small villages and hamlets, 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 TN24 are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Kennington: Within reach of Kennington are historic houses such as Godinton House (2.3 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. PTAs at schools such as Kennington Church of England Academy frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Late September evenings in Kennington lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many staff will carve and serve
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- Whether travel is included
Occasions we serve in TN24

However big or small the event in TN24, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings frequently include:
- Parties at home

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
TN24 questions
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you travel across Kent?
We cover Kent and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
