Hog roast for events in St Leonards
About our hog roast for events in St Leonards
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater PTA summer fairs and charity days.
In St Leonards, a good food stall can make an event. A hog roast is one visitors will queue for. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an autumn event in St Leonards, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

St Leonards questions
Do you trade at school fairs around St Leonards?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you roast near the sea around St Leonards?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we will respond.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We serve as the queue moves.
Chicken widens the choice.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
