About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
