About our hog roast for events in Nonington
Agricultural shows and country events near Nonington are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for school events and summer fêtes.
Rural events near Nonington can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, Nonington is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.

Preparing for the day

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Nonington
Which station is closest to Nonington?
Aylesham station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
How far is Nonington from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
