Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How our hog roast for events works in Small Hythe
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Typical bookings include country shows and club events, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Small Hythe, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
