A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Your trader requirements
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
Donnybrook Quarter 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Donnybrook Quarter have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your visitors
