Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A queuing area
- A vehicle route onto the pitch

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in Ardleigh Green is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
