Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Hog roast for events in Fairseat, slow-roasted on site
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater fun runs and sports events and community days and street fairs.
At a field event near Fairseat, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Fairseat
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

Fairseat questions
Can you come to a school fair in Fairseat?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
