How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, Burghclere Common is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Details of what the event requires
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
