Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders

We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Can you do a hog roast in Highwoods?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Lunsford's Cross from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Lunsford's Cross is about 8:45pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
