Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
About our hog roast for events in Cheriton
Agricultural shows and country events near Cheriton are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for festivals and community days and street fairs.
At a field event near Cheriton, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Cheriton
Do you trade at school fairs around Cheriton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Is Cheriton close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you come to Cheriton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Cheriton and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, Cheriton is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
