The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Teston is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

- Space for people to queue
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Details of what the event requires
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.

Teston questions
Could you cook in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Teston close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
