Monk's Gate: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Monk's Gate?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Leonardslee?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you need power on site?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We carve to order through the agreed hours.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late-September events in Monk's Gate lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Space for people to queue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the roaster
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
