What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Peaslake are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day

Questions from Peaslake
Is Peaslake too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you trade at school fairs around Peaslake?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
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 work back from your serving time.
Can you come to our fête?
We love fêtes. Get in touch.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A queuing area
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
