Slow-roasted pork in Kent Street
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About our hog roast for events in Kent Street
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We’re often asked to cater tournaments and sports days and community days and street fairs, with hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
A fête near Kent Street might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A queuing area
- Permission for cooking on the site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an autumn event in Kent Street, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
