Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
At large shows, tell us expected numbers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do a hog roast in Burton’s Court?

Both models are possible. We will work it out together.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Show allergens at the stall
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
