How our hog roast for events works in Lamberhurst
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Lamberhurst. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. For country shows and tournaments and sports days, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls for your visitors.
Rural events near Lamberhurst can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Summer events in Lamberhurst have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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 pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Why choose a hog roast in Lamberhurst?
For big events, tell us expected numbers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
