How our hog roast for events works in Offham
Agricultural shows and country events near Offham are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. Whether it is village fêtes and vintage rallies, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.
For a village fête or field event near Offham, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.

Offham questions
What’s the nearest station to Offham?
West Malling station, about 1.9 miles east of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around Offham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, events in Offham stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.
