If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late May, sunset in Five Oak Green is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
