School fairs, for a school like St Paul's Church of England Academy, are a natural fit for a hog roast. If visitors are coming by train, the nearest station is St Leonards Warrior Square station, about 0.9 miles south. The coast is within about 2 miles of Hastings, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
Events anywhere in TN34, TN38, TN37 and TN35 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, events in Hastings stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Questions from Hastings
Do you trade at school fairs around Hastings?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Hastings from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

We love fêtes. Ask for details.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Balance the food line-up
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Add coleslaw.
