If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.

FAQs for New Charlton
What’s the nearest station to New Charlton?
Charlton station, in New Charlton itself.
Can you come to a school fair in New Charlton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, New Charlton is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
