For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Make the stall easy to find
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Summer events in Argos Hill have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
