Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast starts early, and in December Farlington is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Farlington questions
Can you roast near the sea around Farlington?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Farlington close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
