Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A firm way on and off the field
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Summer events in Horsemere Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
