How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In late May, sunset in Lower Denford is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
