Hog roast for events in Duddleswell, carved to order
Agricultural shows and country events near Duddleswell are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater country shows and school events.
At a field event near Duddleswell, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Duddleswell questions
What’s the nearest station to Duddleswell?
Buxted station, about 3.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We will agree what suits yours.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-May events in Duddleswell have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Send final numbers in good time

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your trader requirements
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A level pitch with firm ground
