Hog roast for events in Wouldham, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater club events and car and steam shows.
Rural events near Wouldham can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Wouldham is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your trader requirements
- Space for people to queue
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
