The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Cockfosters are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A queuing area
Cockfosters is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
