About our hog roast for events in Kenley
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Kenley. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. We’re often asked to cater PTA summer fairs and small festivals, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Events in Kenley range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A queuing area
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
As a London location, Kenley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
