Hog roast for events in Sevenoaks Weald, carved to order
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For horse and dog shows and PTA summer fairs, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your visitors.
At a fête or show near Sevenoaks Weald, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late May, sunset in Sevenoaks Weald is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
