Common questions in Hazel Street
Which station is closest to Hazel Street?
Paddock Wood station, about 3.9 miles north of the centre.
Is Hazel Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
We’re happy to talk it through.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Hazel Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Chicken widens the choice.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Your trader requirements
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
