How our hog roast for events works in Barrowhill
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Whether it’s small festivals and church and village fêtes, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Rural events near Barrowhill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September events in Barrowhill lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Barrowhill
Which station is closest to Barrowhill?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cover Barrowhill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Barrowhill and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Barrowhill hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
