About our hog roast for events in Broad Street
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. For car shows and rallies and festivals, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
At a field event near Broad Street, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
FAQs for Broad Street
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
Do you come out to small places like Broad Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Broad Street
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
