Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Here are some of the most popular:

  • Countryside locations
  • Period locations

Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:

  • Plan separately for halal if needed
  • Share the allergen list with the crew
  • Keep vegetarian food labelled
  • Stuffing usually contains gluten

We clear our spot after lunch.

Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.

Crackling

Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

  • Choices for people who do not eat pork

Toy's Hill questions

Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Can you do a hog roast in Stubbs Wood Country Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.

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 we need to provide electricity?

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

What happens after service?

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

What about coeliacs?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Do we need our own staff?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

How the day works

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer shoots near Toy's Hill have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
