About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
FAQs for Founthill

The closest is Uckfield station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Do you trade at school fairs around Founthill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What’s the price?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.

What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add coleslaw.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. For an autumn event in Founthill, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
