About our hog roast for events in Wrotham
Village fêtes around Wrotham suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. For town and village days and car shows and rallies, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage for your visitors.
At a fête or show near Wrotham, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive

Wrotham questions
How far is Wrotham from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can a hog roast raise money?
We’re happy to talk it through and we’ll see what’s possible.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we will respond.

Before you choose a spot

- A safe distance from other traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
