Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Summer events in Beansheaf Farm have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
