- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level pitch
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, Bow is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
