What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

Can you come to a school fair in Stoke D'Abernon?

Can you do a school fair?

Do you leave the area tidy?

How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Show allergens at the stall
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
