Hog roast for events for Fleeden
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Hog roast for events in Fleeden, carved to order
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. We serve rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for tournaments and sports days and school events.
For a village fête or field event near Fleeden, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Show allergens at the stall
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Questions from Fleeden
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Fleeden?
Pluckley station, about 2.8 miles north-west of the centre.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you come to our fête?
We love fêtes. Contact us.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. At midsummer, events in Fleeden stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
