For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Details of what the event requires
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
From the roaster
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
