Hog roast for events in Dungeness, carved to order
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Typical bookings include school events and church and village fêtes, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For a village fête or field event near Dungeness, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Dungeness: your questions answered
Is Dungeness close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Dungeness too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
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.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out. 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.

- Cooked on the day, low and slow

- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Dungeness is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
