Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, events in Lenham stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
