Slow-roasted pork in Titsey
Hog roast for events in Titsey, slow-roasted on site
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and small festivals.
At a field event near Titsey, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Titsey
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Titsey close to London?
About 16 miles from central London.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Make the stall easy to find
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add coleslaw.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. For an autumn event in Titsey, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
