The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Rye Harbour, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Questions from Rye Harbour
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you trade at school fairs around Rye Harbour?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you come to our fête?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
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 do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
