If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer events in Highbridge have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Chicken widens the choice.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
