Hog roast hire in Faversham, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. For village fêtes and school fairs and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Most bookings in a town like Faversham are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. Each works well, as long as there’s a level spot clear of buildings and trees. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
For event organisers in Faversham
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

FAQs for Faversham
Can you do a hog roast in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which generally keeps the cost down. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why Faversham hosts choose us

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
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.
