About our hog roast for events in Nutfield
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Whether it is tournaments and sports days and agricultural and country shows, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling and more.
A fête near Nutfield might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.

Questions from Nutfield
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you trade at school fairs around Nutfield?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss the options.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Contact us.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Summer events in Nutfield have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
