About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In late May, sunset in Blashford is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare

- Have a level outdoor spot ready
