About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Late-May events in Alfold have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
