Hog roast for events near Longfield

Full catering or machine hire?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Longfield is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
