Can you come to a school fair in Pembury?

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.

Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Is crockery included?

- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
Give us a contact on the day.
Add coleslaw.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Pembury are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
How to get a price

Full catering or machine hire?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
