FAQs for Buriton
Can you do a hog roast in Ditcham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Buriton?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll talk it through.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Summer events in Buriton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
