Hog roast for events near Hearnden Green
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. We are frequently asked to cater church and village fêtes and tournaments and sports days, with a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For a village fête or field event near Hearnden Green, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

Questions from Hearnden Green
Do you come out to small places like Hearnden Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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 will follow the site rules.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Get in touch.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, Hearnden Green is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
