Liss Forest questions
Do you come out to small places like Liss Forest?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Liss Forest?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Late-September events in Liss Forest lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
