How hog roast hire works in TN8
In TN8, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We’re frequently asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and shows and work summer parties, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.

Near you in Edenbridge
We set up the roaster for events around The White Horse Inn, Church of St Peter and St Paul and Edenbridge Primary School, among other places. Edenbridge has its own railway station: Edenbridge Town station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are Haxted Watermill Museum (1.6 miles south-west) and Hever Castle (2.4 miles south-east).
Planning a hog roast in TN8
There are 3 towns and 16 villages and hamlets in TN8, so whether your event is in Sevenoaks, Edenbridge and Marlpit Hill or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Edenbridge: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For guests coming by train, Edenbridge Town station serves Edenbridge directly. Late September evenings in Edenbridge lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Occasions we serve in TN8

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Whether VAT is included
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
Questions from TN8
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Is crackling included?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
