Tilmanstone questions
Do you come out to small places like Tilmanstone?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Tilmanstone?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer events in Tilmanstone have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
