How hog roast hire works in TN25

There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in TN25, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include new potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and birthdays and anniversaries.

Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.

A hog roast across TN25: what to know

TN25 covers everything from Ashford, Kennington and Godinton to 42 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across TN25, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 9 of the places we cover in TN25 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Finberry: For a fundraiser at a school like Finberry Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. If you had Ashford Green Corridors in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Planning an evening hog roast in Finberry? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice.

What your quote should include

  • The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
  • Arrival time and how long the roast needs
  • Where the roaster goes and what it needs
  • VAT, if it applies

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.

Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Why a hog roast works

Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.

Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around TN25, such as:

  • Weddings, day or evening
  • Clubhouse events
  • Festive gatherings
  • Work summer parties

Planning the cooking spot

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:

  • A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
  • Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo

What a hog roast costs

Each price is built from:

  • The serving time and how long we are on site
  • Site access
  • Which meats and sides you choose
  • How many people are eating

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Details that help

Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:

  • Your menu choices
  • Roughly how many people
  • Allergies we should know about
  • The date and time of the event

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

Common questions in TN25

What happens when we hire a hog roast?

We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.

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.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

What if it rains?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

What happens after service?

We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

Is crockery included?

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
