About our hog roast for events in Lynsted
At a fête, fair or festival in Lynsted, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include community days and street fairs and horse and dog shows, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
A fête near Lynsted might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.

A hog roast compared with other options

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

Lynsted questions
Is Lynsted too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Lynsted?
The closest is Teynham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
