Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Green Street Green questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
Could you cook in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Space for people to queue

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
