Questions from Bagnum
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Bagnum?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
We serve as the queue moves.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
