Hog roast for events in Kennington
Hog roast for events near Kennington
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Whether it’s school events and tournaments and sports days, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Events near Kennington are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Summer events in Kennington have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
