About our hog roast for events in Littlebourne
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Littlebourne attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we will suggest how it could work. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and vintage rallies, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
Near Littlebourne, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Littlebourne: your questions answered
How far is Littlebourne from London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Is Littlebourne too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September events in Littlebourne lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm way on and off the field
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
