The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add coleslaw.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. At midsummer, events in Iden Green stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
