Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Chicken widens the choice.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, Maybush is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
