Hog roast for events in Reculver
About our hog roast for events in Reculver
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We are frequently asked to cater church and village fêtes and vintage rallies, with halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
A fête near Reculver might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-September events in Reculver lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- 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 serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Do we need our own staff?

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch
- Any paperwork the organisers need
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Why choose a hog roast in Reculver?

Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose
