What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, events in Strettington 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.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Common questions in Strettington
Can you come to a school fair in Strettington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
