What else we do in Stoughton
Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Halal isn’t offered
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Common questions in Stoughton
Can you come to a school fair in Stoughton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
A hog roast compared with other options

Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in Stoughton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your visitors
