Book a hog roast in Dean Street
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How our hog roast for events works in Dean Street
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Dean Street. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We are often asked to cater fundraising events and festivals, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
A fête near Dean Street might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Questions from Dean 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 will follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We will agree what suits yours.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
