About hog roast for events in Medway

Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for tournaments and sports days and vintage rallies.

We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event.

Fairs, fêtes and festivals across Medway

In Medway’s villages, events may have limited power and water, while events in Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester need quick service. A gas-fired hog roast handles both.

Gillingham: For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. For anyone arriving by train, the nearest station is Gillingham (Kent) station, about 1.5 miles north-west. Late-May events in Gillingham have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

Planning the cooking spot

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:

Details of what the event requires
The landowner’s or council’s agreement
Room for a queue that does not block paths

Is a hog roast right for you?

Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather.

Questions to ask before you book

Which meats, sides and extras are included
VAT, if it applies
How many staff will carve and serve
Where the roaster goes and what it needs

Planners, venues and businesses

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
Make the stall easy to find
Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian

Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.

Chicken widens the choice.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to:

The date and time of year
Travel to Medway
Plates or china
How many people are eating

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Your menu choices
Rough numbers
Any dietary needs or allergies
The date and when you’d like to eat

To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Questions from Medway

Can you roast in the rain?

Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Is it pay as you go?

Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.

Do you come to Medway?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Medway and Medway. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

When should we book?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

What paperwork do you provide?

Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll tell you what we can send.

What do people get?

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

What space does the roaster need?

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
