A hog roast near Eastchurch
How our hog roast for events works in Eastchurch
At a fête, fair or festival in Eastchurch, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for small festivals and church and village fêtes.
At a field event near Eastchurch, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Signpost the stall clearly
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late May, sunset in Eastchurch is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
