Hog roast for events near Foley Park
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Foley Park. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include fun runs and sports events and school events, with apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
For events in a place like Foley Park, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A hog roast does that. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Any paperwork the organisers need
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Foley Park questions
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Vinters Valley Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
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 check it with you before booking.
Can you cater in Foley Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Foley Park and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

The menu, 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.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:

- Show allergens at the stall

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works

- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
