Hog roast for events in Guston, carved to order
Country shows near Guston suit a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. We are frequently asked to cater festivals and tournaments and sports days, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
A fête near Guston might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Common questions in Guston
Do you trade at school fairs around Guston?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Could you cook in Connaught Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we will respond.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

How we price a hog roast for your event
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Guston
Guston is about 2 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. Guston and the surrounding area are covered for events. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Guston to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
Events in parks such as Connaught Park need permission from the council or landowner for cooking and vehicles. A school like Duke of York's Royal Military School can book a hog roast for a fair, fun run or sports day. With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
For events in CT15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include The Street, Chance Meadow and The Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For events just outside Guston, we cover East Langdon (1 mile north-east), Church Whitfield (1 mile north-west), West Cliffe (1 mile east), Martin Mill (2 miles north-east) and Charlton-in-Dover (2 miles south-west).

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer events in Guston have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
