About hog roast hire in TN3
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and wakes.
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.

Hog roast hire across TN3
TN3 covers everything from Rusthall, Langton Green and Lamberhurst to 18 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Langton Green: If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of All Saints, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. For a fundraiser at a school like Langton Green Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Planning an evening hog roast in Langton Green? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- 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.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Space, access and the venue

TN3: your questions answered
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
