What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Lullingstone stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Where the roaster can go in Lullingstone
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from other traders
- A queuing area
- Permission for cooking on the site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
