- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
Name an organiser to meet us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

- An itemised quote

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
