Slow-roasted pork in Allbrook
Should I cook it myself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In late May, sunset in Allbrook is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
