What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- A level pitch with firm ground
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Clearance from other stalls and tents

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, Isle of Dogs is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
