Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

Other occasions in Filching
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For an autumn event in Filching, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- 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
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access
