Common questions in Landport
Do you trade at school fairs around Landport?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Landport from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. For an autumn event in Landport, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
