How our hog roast for events works in Hythe
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Hythe. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include festivals and town and village days, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
A town like Hythe has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. A hog roast suits all of them. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
