Slow-roasted pork in Bodiam
Hog roast for events near Bodiam
At a fête, fair or festival in Bodiam, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Whether it’s village fêtes and vintage rallies, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling and more.
At a field event near Bodiam, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Bodiam. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Bodiam are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
