About our hog roast for events in Marsh Green
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater festivals and charity fundraisers.
For a village fête or field event near Marsh Green, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Marsh Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Marsh Green
Is Marsh Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
