Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Petham
Do you trade at school fairs around Petham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Petham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
What if things run late?
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.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

What else we do in Petham
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For an autumn event in Petham, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
