Hog roast for events in Sheerness
How our hog roast for events works in Sheerness
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. We’re frequently asked to cater charity days and tournaments and sports days, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Sheerness are made for a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Where the roaster can go in Sheerness
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Space for people to queue

Sheerness is about 7 miles north of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Sheerness and the surrounding area are covered for events. Sheerness is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Sheerness to Canterbury (about 18 miles away).
An event in Barton's Point Coastal Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council. If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Rose Street Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Sheerness questions
Which station is closest to Sheerness?
Sheerness-On-Sea station, in Sheerness itself.
Can you come to a school fair in Sheerness?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See how we price or our hog roast cost guide.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Late-May events in Sheerness have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
