Slow-roasted pork in Long Ditton
Hog roast for events in Long Ditton, carved to order
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for school events and festivals.
In Long Ditton, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Make the stall easy to find
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Halal is not offered
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Long Ditton are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. An event in Stokes Field means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, generally the council.
Wherever your event is in KT6, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Pound Close, Fleece Road and St Chads Close; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Should I cook it myself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Long Ditton
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
