Sutton at Hone questions
Can you come to a school fair in Sutton at Hone?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast in Darenth Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What will our event need from you?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We will agree what suits yours.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
