What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add coleslaw.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In December, Fortis Green is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- 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 tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Fortis Green
Do you trade at school fairs around Fortis Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Could you cook in Cherry Tree Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
