About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cold food stalls, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, events in Lower Brailes stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning for dietary needs

- Halal is not offered
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A firm way on and off the field
