Lower Stoke questions
Can you come to a school fair in Lower Stoke?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Should I cook it myself?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Add coleslaw.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your trader requirements
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
