Hog roast for events in Kilndown
About our hog roast for events in Kilndown
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Kilndown. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Whether it is country shows and church and village fêtes, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your visitors.
A fête near Kilndown might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Show allergens at the stall
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

The process
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. At midsummer, events in Kilndown stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
