Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

A hog roast or other catering?
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Satmar questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in East Cliff and Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about Christmas markets?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
Do you need lighting?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A lit route to the food
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
