How hog roast hire works in CT50
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We’re often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and garden parties and barbecues, with rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What it costs in CT50

A hog roast across CT50: what to know
There are 2 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in CT50, so whether your event is in Cheriton and Sandgate or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Cheriton: Thinking of a hog roast in Lower Leas Coastal Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as All Soul's Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Late September evenings in Cheriton lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.

Working with your venue

Common questions in CT50
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
