Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Do you clear up?

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late-September events in Farlington lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A safe distance from other traders
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
