How our hog roast for events works in Hook Green
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Typical bookings include vintage rallies and small festivals, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Hook Green, power and water may be limited; 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.
Questions from Hook Green
Is Hook Green close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss the options.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Balance the food line-up
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-May events in Hook Green have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
