- Staffing on the day
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- Whether VAT is included
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Balance the food line-up
- Make the stall easy to find
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Summer events in Sidlow have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
