Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We serve as the queue moves.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Hog roast for events near Silver Street
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater fundraising events and festivals.
At a field event near Silver Street, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Silver Street: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you trade at school fairs around Silver Street?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September events in Silver Street lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
