Common questions in North Charford
Do you come out to small places like North Charford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in North Charford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in North Charford are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- 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 leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
