How hog roast hire works in TN29

People book a hog roast in TN29 for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We are often asked to cater sports clubs and societies and corporate events, with salads, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.

People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.

  1. First, tell us about your event.
  2. We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
  4. We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Hog roast catering in TN29: local guide

Across TN29, we cover 3 towns and 11 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Dymchurch, Lydd and St Mary's Bay or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. Around 4 places in TN29 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Dymchurch: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Dymchurch Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Among the historic houses close to Dymchurch are Westenhanger Castle (4.5 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Dymchurch, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Organising for someone else?

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Planning the cooking spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

  • Any venue rules sorted in advance
  • Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
  • Vehicle access close to the cooking area

What we serve, dish by dish

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

Rotisserie chicken

For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.

Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

  • Ask about allergies when you send invitations
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

TN29 questions

What meats can we have?

Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.

Do you cook it or do we?

Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.

What’s the price?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

What if things run late?

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Can you cater for vegetarians?

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.

What about coeliacs?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

What space does the roaster need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
