Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Leysdown-on-Sea
Do you come out to small places like Leysdown-on-Sea?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Leysdown-on-Sea close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September events in Leysdown-on-Sea lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
