Kingsgate: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Kingsgate?
The closest is Broadstairs station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you trade at school fairs around Kingsgate?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Where the roaster can go in Kingsgate
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Your trader requirements
- A safe distance from other traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an autumn event in Kingsgate, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
