About our hog roast for events in Sarre
At a fête, fair or festival in Sarre, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. We serve rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for car and steam shows and school events.
Near Sarre, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Running an event in Sarre
Sarre is about 5 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Our roaster is a regular sight at events around Sarre. Sarre is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Sarre to Canterbury (8 miles away).
A summer fête at Church of Saint Nicholas is the classic setting for a hog roast. School fairs, for a school like St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. With the sea within about 6 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
Anywhere in CT7, we can bring the roaster to you. From Island Road, Old Road and Chantry Park or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. Neighbouring places where we cater events include St Nicholas at Wade (1 mile north-east), West Stourmouth (1 mile south), East Stourmouth (2 miles south), Monkton (2 miles east) and Upstreet (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (8 miles south-west), Margate (7 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (7 miles east), Broadstairs (8 miles east) and Whitstable (9 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Powell-Cotton Museum (3.8 miles north-east).
- Nearby, you will find Kings Head Inn (within half a mile east)
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- All the equipment comes with us
- A clear quote with everything listed

What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, Sarre is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
