How our hog roast for events works in Wingham
Agricultural shows and country events near Wingham are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and school events.
For a village fête or field event near Wingham, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

What a hog roast costs

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Wingham is about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
