Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Summer events in Pett have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch with firm ground

Common questions in Pett
Is Pett 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.
Is Pett close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Add coleslaw.
What affects the price in Pett
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
