Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an autumn event in Birdham, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
