A hog roast near Billingbear
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Summer events in Billingbear have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

Full catering or machine hire?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
