A hog roast near Godmersham
Hog roast for events in Godmersham, carved to order
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. For fundraising events and car shows and rallies, we can cook hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Near Godmersham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-September events in Godmersham lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
How to get a price
