Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.

A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.

What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

What else we do in East Clandon
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in East Clandon 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
