Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Space for people to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
