Planning an event in Flete?
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
How our hog roast for events works in Flete
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Flete attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. On the menu are hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater fun runs and sports events and charity days.
For a village fête or field event near Flete, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
For event organisers in Flete
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Your quote depends on:
- The number of people
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Flete
Do you come out to small places like Flete?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Flete close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What will our event need from you?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Get in touch.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Flete is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
