Common questions in Lydd-on-Sea
How far is Lydd-on-Sea from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Lydd-on-Sea?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How we price a hog roast for your event
The biggest factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options

- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Your trader requirements
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
