About our hog roast for events in Tutt Hill
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Tutt Hill. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include charity days and agricultural and country shows, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling.
Rural events near Tutt Hill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Running an event in Tutt Hill
Tutt Hill is about 4 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Tutt Hill. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Tutt Hill to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like The Hayesbrook School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Within about 6 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Tutt Hill is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A queuing area
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
