How our hog roast for events works in Weavering
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. Typical bookings include community events and country shows, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
Summer fairs around Weavering are often run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A queuing area
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A level pitch with firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules

- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Weavering
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you come to a school fair in Weavering?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Summer events in Weavering have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Gather dietary requirements early
