How our hog roast for events works in Tunbridge Hill
Country shows near Tunbridge Hill suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater vintage rallies and food and music festivals.
For a village fête or field event near Tunbridge Hill, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
How we price a hog roast for your event
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At large shows, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Tunbridge Hill hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Serving and clearing done for you

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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, events in Tunbridge Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
