A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Rock are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
