Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Balance the food line-up
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Halal is not offered
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Where the roaster can go in Cuckfield
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Details of what the event requires

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer events in Cuckfield have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
Getting a price

Planning help
For event organisers in Cuckfield
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
