How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Summer events in Adisham have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A queuing area
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
