Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Martins Heron is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
