Hog roast for events in Sheet Hill, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Sheet Hill attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. For community events and fundraising events, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling and more.
At a field event near Sheet Hill, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch with firm ground
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. Late-September events in Sheet Hill lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or TN15 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Questions from Sheet Hill
Do you trade at school fairs around Sheet Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you cook in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
Do you do charity events?
We are happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you cater in Sheet Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Sheet Hill and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We serve as the queue moves.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
