Finglesham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Finglesham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.4 miles away.

Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Finglesham is about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add coleslaw.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
