Common questions in Salehurst
Do you come out to small places like Salehurst?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Salehurst?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you need power on site?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

About the food
Roast pork

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
