About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
How our hog roast for events works in Deal
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We’re frequently asked to cater summer fêtes and country shows, with crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
In Deal, schools, clubs and churches run summer events. A hog roast suits all of them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Deal events: pitches and permissions
Deal is about 14 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Planning a hog roast for your event in Deal? We cover the whole area. Deal is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Deal to Canterbury (14 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Castle Community College, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. For anyone arriving by train, the closest railway station is Deal station, roughly 0.5 miles north-east of the centre. With the sea within about a mile, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
For events in CT14, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Your event could be at a house on London Road, Forelands Square and Herschell Square or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Being close to the A258 and B2056, Deal is simple for us to get to for your event. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Mill Hill (1 mile west), Walmer (1 mile south), Sholden (1 mile north-west), Sholden Meadows (1 mile north-west) and Great Mongeham (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (14 miles west), Margate (11 miles north), Dover (7 miles south-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-west), Ramsgate (8 miles north) and Broadstairs (10 miles north).

- Nearby, you will find Brickmakers Arms (within half a mile north-east)
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, events in Deal stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
