What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your trader requirements
- A queuing area
- A level pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How our hog roast for events works in Shoreham
At a fête, fair or festival in Shoreham, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Whether it is vintage rallies and village fêtes, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
At a field event near Shoreham, 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.
Shoreham questions
Do you come out to small places like Shoreham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Shoreham?
Shoreham (Kent) station, in Shoreham itself.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater in Shoreham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Shoreham and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September events in Shoreham lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
