Hog roast for events in Biddenden Green, carved to order
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Whether it’s village fêtes and charity fundraisers, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your visitors.
Rural events near Biddenden Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Questions from Biddenden Green
Can you come to a school fair in Biddenden Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Which station is closest to Biddenden Green?
Pluckley station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will tell you what we can send.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
