Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
