Do you trade at school fairs around Coldharbour?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can a hog roast raise money?
We are happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September events in Coldharbour lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- 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
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
