Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Paddlesworth
Do you come out to small places like Paddlesworth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you need power on site?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
Where the roaster can go in Paddlesworth
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A queuing area
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Your trader requirements
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
Name an organiser to meet us.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, events in Paddlesworth stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or ME6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
