DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Chicken widens the choice.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September events in Cramhurst lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Planning help
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Cramhurst
Is Cramhurst too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you come to a school fair in Cramhurst?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is it pay as you go?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
