A hog roast near Falmer
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Falmer have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically 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.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A firm way on and off the field

Full catering or machine hire?
