The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in East Stourmouth are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.

- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
