For event organisers in Gossops Green

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Gossops Green. Summer events in Gossops Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A queuing area
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A safe distance from other traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
