About our hog roast for events in Chiddingstone Causeway
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and sports days.
Near Chiddingstone Causeway, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What affects the price in Chiddingstone Causeway
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
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.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Questions from Chiddingstone Causeway
Could you cook in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Chiddingstone Causeway?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

- Room for a queue that does not block paths
