Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, events in Steep Marsh stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically 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.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
