The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. At midsummer, events in Broadstairs stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast. Whether it is horse and dog shows and food and music festivals, we can cook halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls and more.
In Broadstairs, schools, clubs and churches run summer events. It suits any of them. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

What comes off the roaster

Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Numbers
- Time on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
