Hog roast for events in Hever, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. On the menu are crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater town and village days and village fêtes.
A fête near Hever might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What affects the price in Hever
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In December, Hever is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
