How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Lyminster lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Lyminster: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Lyminster?
The closest is Arundel station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A queuing area
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
