Hog roast for events in Hamstreet, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Hamstreet. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Popular choices include crackling, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for car and steam shows and community events.
A fête near Hamstreet might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
Name an organiser to meet us.
Add coleslaw.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
