How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Send us the date, the address or TN26 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.

Kenardington: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Kenardington?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Kenardington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Kenardington are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
