How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September events in Esher lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

For event organisers in Esher
