Slow-roasted pork in Stanford Dingley
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We serve as the queue moves.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in Stanford Dingley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
