Hog roast for events in Eythorne
Hog roast for events in Eythorne, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Whether it’s community events and church and village fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce and more.
A fête near Eythorne might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Community events around Eythorne
Eythorne is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. We cater events of every size in Eythorne. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Eythorne to Canterbury (10 miles away).
For anyone arriving by train, the closest railway station is Shepherds Well station, roughly 1.8 miles west of the centre. School fairs, for a school like Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Within about 8 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we work to the site rules. The coast is within about 6 miles of Eythorne, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
For events in CT15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many visitors. Streets in the area include The Street, Sandwich Road and New Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater events in Waldershare (1 mile south-west), Sibertswold (2 miles south-west), Coldred (2 miles south-west), Halfway Street (2 miles south-west) and Lydden (3 miles south-west).

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Eythorne are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often 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.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
