Hog roast for events in New Romney, carved to order
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. We serve crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for food and music festivals and school fairs and sports days.
In New Romney, one popular trader keeps it simple. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Halal is not offered
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. 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.

What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
