Common questions in Staplers
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Can you cater in Staplers?
Yes, Staplers is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Perfect for your event in Staplers
It is food people can carry round the event.
However big or small the event in Staplers, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings frequently include:
- Charity days
- Vintage rallies
- Horse and dog shows
- Festivals
School fairs, for a school like Barton Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast.
What to look for in a quote
- Travel and any London charges
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- How dietary needs are handled

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

The menu, dish by dish

Why choose a hog roast in Staplers?
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Your trader requirements
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
Staplers is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
