How our hog roast for events works in Mountain Street
Village fêtes around Mountain Street suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for country shows and small festivals.
Near Mountain Street, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- A firm way on and off the field
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Mountain Street
Could you cook in Broadham Down?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Mountain Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you need power on site?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Mountain Street events: pitches and permissions
Mountain Street is about 6 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. We cater events of every size in Mountain Street. We cover 922 places across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Mountain Street to Canterbury (6 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Chilham, are a natural fit for a hog roast. For anyone arriving by train, the nearest station is Chilham station, about 0.8 miles north-east. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Mountain Street, frequently have rules about cooking, vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
For events in CT4, we just need to know where the roaster can cook.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-May events in Mountain Street have light until about 8:45pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
