Common questions in Rose Hill
Is Rose Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Rose Hill from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Summer events in Rose Hill have daylight until about 9:15pm 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.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
