A hog roast near East Wickham
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in East Wickham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Should I cook it myself?

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
