- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
