About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Stelling Minnis are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day

- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A firm way on and off the field
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
